Cuba has been banned from trading with the United States for over half a century ago. This economic embargo has devastated Cuba, beginning since the early 1960’s. Several United States presidents have had different takes on the matter, some loosening the embargo whilst some making it more restricting. However, 55 years after, President Barack Obama has released an official statement, noting that, the US will normalize diplomatic relations with Cuba. It is therefore necessary to consider the…

I pray that this letter finds you and the family in the best of health and spirit. I have traveled to the Americas, to reconnect with our distant family acquaintance and relative Nicolas de Ovando. Nicolas has become the Governor of Hispaniola and I’m proud of him. I have been helping Nicolas with establishing a colony for a large number of years. I enjoy what I do here and it is definitely better than law school. I took part in a very big expedition and we captured many Indians who became…

with Cuba, the U.S. government began to prepare for an invasion. Although there was no immediate threat coming from Cuba, Kennedy wanted to prove to the Soviets that they would not tolerate such behavior. An attack on Cuba was always the plan since Castro assumed control, but Kennedy wanted to avoid an outright attack, knowing that the Soviets would see this as an act of war, so all the plans were kept secret. Much to the embarrassment of president Kennedy and the CIA, the invasion was a…

falsity of their propagated message about Castro and the Cuba situation in general. For this I will turn to one of my most important primary documents, an intelligence report on Castro’s first year running Cuba.
