Why isn't the USA on good terms with cuba?
The US and Cuba aren't on the greatest terms because of their history. Cuba used to be under Spanish rule, but they wanted to be independent, so there were tensions between Cuba and Spain. The US and Spain have had tensions as well, so the US sought it fit to help Cuba. This started the Spanish-American War, whose sole purpose was for Cuban independence. Once the Americans won, Spain relinquished sovereignty over Cuba and also transferred the territories of Guam, the Philippines, and Puerto Rico over to the US. Cuba was kept for a few years under American power, but was then released. However, the US still retained the rights to intervene in Cuban affairs. They also leased land from the country (and currently still do): Guantánamo Bay. But, the US still remained in Cuba. Decades went by before a revolt and actual independence. During the Cuban revolt, there were sanctions against the country by the US and several others. To this day, there are still some sanctions against Cuba. So the US and Cuba aren't on good terms because of their past, as some grudges are still held.
Why do you need a license to go to Cuba?

Now That President Obama Has Joined The Fair Play For Cuba Committee When He Pardon Lee Harvey Oswald?
Another user wrote: "President Obama has always questioned the Kennedy era sanctions against Cuba. Cuba provided its citizens free healthcare long before the President made that available in the USA." It should also be noted that a number of people have questioned the sanctions against Cuba, especially in the past decade: surveys of public opinion show that younger people (who were not raised with the anger about the takeover of Cuba by Fidel Castro) especially see no value in the sanctions. Other assertions that President Obama is eager to pardon Oswald, or that he doubts the results of the House Select Committee on Assassinations, are false.
What is the difference between embargo and sanction?
Embargoes are the complete ban or prohibition of trade by one country with other. Under embargoes, no goods or services can be imported or exported from or to the embargoed nation. For example, the U.S. currently has a trade embargo with Cuba (except in limited circumstances, such as the export of food and agricultural products to Cuba). Sanctions are the trade prohibition on certain type of products, services or technology to another country due to various reasons, including nuclear non-proliferation and humanitarian purposes. Sanctions could also be considered as "partial embargoes" as they restrict trade in certain areas. For example, the U.S. has trade sanctions with North Korea that prohibit the export of any material that would help N.Korea in its Nuclear or any other mass destruction or weapons related program. In practical terms, comprehensive trade sanctions can have practically the same effect as an embargo. Fr example, Cuba is the only country currently subject to a total trade embargo by the U.S. However, the U.S. also maintains comprehensive trade sanctions against N. Korea, Syria, Sudan and Iran that prohibit virtually all types of financial transactions with entities from those countries, thereby having a similar practical effect as the embargo against Cuba. Sanctions also can be more limited and target only certain groups of individuals, such as the sanctions maintained by the U.S. against former members of the Charles Taylor regime in Liberia.
