• CUBA’s history
• My personal opinion
The United States gave independence to Cuba in 1902. The USA and
CUBA kept a special relationship id est they kept an important
commercial bond. The USA invested in the production of sugar and
tobacco. Initially the government of the United States supported the
Cuban revolution, by recognizing the new government of Fidel
Castro on January 7th, 1959, after the escape of Batista on January
1st. However relation between the two states worsened very quickly.
Fidel Castro nationalized several strategic sectors which were under
the control of American. Then Cuba bound commercially and
politically with the USSR.
The human rights in Cuba: The question about the human rights in
Cuba is controverter. Some people say Cuba doesn’t respect the
human rights however there isn’t case of torture, assassination or
political disappearance in Cuba. For some the situation in Cuba
would be better than some countries of Latin America according to
“Amnesty International”. The level of education and medical care
are remarkable for this geographical area so we can’t say that Fidel
Castro is a despot who is indifferent to the fate of his people.
