Nowadays there are a lot of problems between certain countries, like between Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Palestine… However, there are other countries that are starting a new stage, like between Cuba and the USA. The question is, when and why they end up this relation?
ResponderEliminarAs the influence of the Spanish Empire over, its possessions in the Americas finished in the 1820s, as a result of the Spanish American wars of independence, only Cuba and Puerto Rico remained to Spain and in 1898 in the Spanish–American War, Cuba became independent. However, under the Treaty of Paris Cuba became a U.S. protectorate and the problem was that the USA began to dominate the island, until Cuba’s independence in 1902.
There was a Cuban Revolution in 1959 and bilateral relations deteriorated substantially. The USA began pursuing people from the Communist regime, they banned corporations' property by Cuba, and it stated like that for a long time, because on the other hand the Cuban government refused to be a democratic country and that the USA could interfere in Cuba’s economy.
Nonetheless, all this has finished, because Cuba and the USA began of a process of normalizing relations in December 2014 and just a few days ago USA’s flag is raised again in Cuba and Cuba’s flag in the USA. I hope that this relation continue rising, and Cuban an American people also begin a new relation.

There was a Cuban Revolution in 1959 and bilateral relations deteriorated substantially. The USA began chasing people from the Communist regime, they banned corporations owned by Cuba, and it stayed like that for a long time, because on the other hand the Cuban government refused to be a democratic country and that the USA could interfere in Cuba’s economy.
