Abstract

cuba, largest and most western island of the West Indies. for most of its past, cuba was the wealthiest island of the Caribbean due to its fertile soil and abundant sugar and tobacco production. Its strategic location and wealth of resources contribute to a long history of external intervention, first as a Spanish colony and later on as an American client state. Throughout its history, cuba has been exploited for its resources. After the Spanish-Cuban-American War American imperialism dictated Cuban life. Politics and economics were dependent on United States policies. The extent of American intervention on the island damaged cuba's ability to establish a successful democratic government. Authoritarianism and widespread resentment arose eventually leading to the Cuban Revolution and the installation of Fidel Castro and because had to overcome obstacles.
