What year did European settlers first arrive in Cuba?

Europeans first arrived in Cuba when Christopher Columbus sailed south after making landfall in the Bahamas in 1492. The natives of the Bahamas told of wealthy people to the south on an island that they called Cuba, which makes Cuba special as a place still with its original name. Because Columbus had thought he had arrived in Asia, he made the assumption that Cuba was Japan. The first European settlement wasn't made in Cuba until 1511 by Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar, who founded a small town called Baracoa, which still survives to this day. Cuéllar also went on to establish the cities of Santiago de Cuba and Havana.


Why didn't America annex Cuba?

The United States did not annex Cuba for a few reasons. On the surface the official reason was because they did not want to appear to be like an imperialist European power. Although, the US people were also repelled to let Cuba join them due the Latino/Spanish heritage of the state. Also, with the US Civil War still fresh, many were weary about having a state that held a populations that was 1/3 black or mixed. The US still bought Cuba from Spain and exploited Cuba for awhile without annexing the country as an official state with US liberties.
