because of his charisma but also because of the brutality and corruption within Batista’s government. In January of 1959, Castro successfully overthrew Batista. Castro and many Cubans believed that the root cause of Cuba’s problems was America’s domination over Cuba. Therefore, Castro decided he must reduce American influence on Cuba. The Americans felt that they must overthrow Castro because of his communist influence on the West and because he wouldn’t allow their businesses to continue in…

After watching the “Clouds over Cuba” documentary, I have learned about various facts and concepts that I did not have complete prior knowledge of. The two most important facts I learned were that the United States of America was a divided nation when President John F. Kennedy came into power and Kennedy inherited a plan from President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s administration. The former fact was discussed in the first chapter of the documentary titled “Context” while the latter was discussed in…

Espinosa book, “The Yellow Fever and the Limits of Cuban Independence” delineates on the beginning of the epidemic yellow fever and how it has impacted US and Cuba relations. This disease originated in Cuba in 1878 and later made its way to the Southern and Northern United states where it infected a large amounts of the population. This disease was killing many Americans causing business to halt and everyday life to stop which also in turn meant that one of American most valuable income sources…

Cuba and Venezuela have arguably been the most oppressed Latin American countries in the entire world. Cuba has been under a communist dictatorship for the last 50 years, while the Venezuelan people have been stripped of their rights money and food by their last two presidents.

This is because as shown on (http://country-facts.findthedata.com/compare/1-18/United-States-vs-Cuba) Cuba has a 3.3 chance of an unemployment…

Soviets. However, Kennedy did not respond to this in the way that Castro wanted. Kennedy’s next move was incredibly risky, but due to his new aggressive policy towards the Cubans and Russians, he decided to go through with it. By placing a blockade around Cuba, which denied Russia access to them, Kennedy isolated Castro and forced him to decide whether to attack or give in to Kennedy’s demands. This move was risky due to the fact that Castro could have just simply decided to launch the missiles…

main Super Powers the Soviet Union and the United States. This paper will discuss Cuba, one of the many Client States, and its relationship with the Soviet Union. Cuba’s relationship with the Soviet Union during the Cold War ultimately helped Fidel Castro become the Head of State in Cuba. After Cuba became a communist country their relationship with the Soviet Union was mutually beneficial because they were able to access goods together they would not have been able to obtain on their own.

Kennedy had not used United States Air power in support of the Bay Of Pigs invasion nor had he committed military power in the Berlin Crisis of 1961. Maybe Kennedy did the lack the metaphorical backbone so aptly illustrated in American newspaper cartoons. A comparison of the two man seems to justify a cruise ships opinion of bay and the superior competitors. Kennedy had lived a fairy tale life up to the point of winning the presidency. Born into a wealthy and well connected family, he had all…

The names Jose Marti, Gerardo Machado y Morales, Fulgencio Batista, Fidel Castro, Tomas Estrada Palma, Jose Miguel Gomez, Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and John F. Kennedy might seem a fair number of names whose story to learn over thirty pages, However these were all stated and barely explained in the span of less…
