When Columbus came to Cuba in 1492, he and his predecessors would probably never have imagined of this island's outcome within the centuries ahead. from conquering the country, to its independence, to the totalitarian regime put into it, all these major events have made the island what it is today. Before giving the whole story about the Communists, one must understand how the country was born so here's a little bit of a background history: Spain had conquered Cuba in 1511 under Diego Velasquez. Frequent insurrections failed to end Spain's harsh rule. From 1868 to 1878 occurred the Armed rebellion known as the Ten Year's War, led by plantation owner Carlos Manuel de Cespedes, a co-author of Cuba's declaration of independence. After the loss of more than 200,000 lives, the revolt ended in failure. In 1933, Fulgencio Batista led a "sergeants" revolt" that toppled the despotic rule of Gen. Grarado Machado and it was at that time that Batista became the most powerful man in Cuba. He was elected president in 1940 and made himself chief of state with dictatorial powers. Years of corrupt government, terrorism and embezzlement made by the United States led to a revolt i

During the 40's and the 50's, Cuba was in desperate state of the economy. Since then Castro has had tight control over the economy. Cuba's economy is known as the world's least free.

Although Castro is quite proud of the way he has prospered his country, many are skeptical that this regime hasn't done much for Cubans. So despised by some of his people that the word assassination is as known to him as his name. On that matter Castro says: "If surviving assassination were an Olympic attempt, I would win the gold medal". What do other countries think of him? Well, we all know what the U.S. thinks of him: as being a troublemaker and a fascist who's out to conquer the world to make it his own and perhaps cause another world war. All this may seem absurd now, but maybe they're right. Look what happened to Hitler and his people and all the poor Jews when it was too late to interfere in his brutal and cruel persecutions, his evil ways. The only way Cuba, today, will undergo good change is the day Fidel Castro dies. It is rumored that he's ill but that doesn't mean it's fatal. Now the Cubans who despise him are only awaiting his death because they are the ones that probably realize that if nothing is done to stop the atrocities created by him, history just might repeat itself over again. Think about it!
