Well actually Cuba is its own country the U.S. is just covering them like a body guard. But we gained Hawaii because it was so close to us and the Russians didn't want to go to war. So they sold us Hawaii.

well compared to all the other countries i think cuba is poor.

The U.S. was not initially sympathetic to Cuba's independence, but rather, they were sympathetic to Cuba's struggle for independence. The U.S. had compassion for what they were going through. At the end of the Spanish-American War the U.S. recognized Cuba's independence from Spain.

Cuba caused problems in the US since Castro was brought to power in 1959, in the revolution. Castro forced all US businesses and investments to leave Cuba. In retaliation, the USA refused to buy cubas main export; sugar. This was in the middle of the cold war, so the Soviet Union saw a way to gain influence in the carribean. The Soviet Union quickly offered to buy Cuban sugar and also provide machinery, oil and technological assistance to Cuba. Cuba agreed. Castro was now linked with the Soviet Union and he professed that his political views were towards communism. As a result of the Soviet involvment in Cuba, the USA broke off relations with Cuba in January 1961. Shortly after this, Cuba declared itself communist. This worried the USA, because communism was now closer to home then ever. This all then lead to the Bay of Pigs invasion and Cuban Missile Crisis.

They have a few mountains in Cuba. One of the most popular mountain ranges for tourists are the Sierra Del Escambray in which you can do some beautiful treks around the waterfalls of the region. The area is also popular for bird-spotting.

During the Cold War or"proxy wars" Cuba's Fidel Castro overthrew the dictator that the United States had originally set up to be a puppet government; the US lost control of Cuba and Castro joined the side of Russia (then USSR). Then the Cuban Missile Crisis followed... Relations between Cuba and the US quickly deteriorated and the US set in place a trade and travel embargo (meaning that nothing goes in or out of Cuba from/to the US). The embargo that is currently holding people back from traveling to Cuba is a relic and needs to be removed. The US, being as stubborn as possible, will likely not lift the the embargo until Castro dies because they believe it is symbolic or some other reason (it has NO practical reason).

Cuban's are promitted to go to school for 10 years

Two birds that make their home in Cuba are the Cuban Finch and the Bee Hummingbird. Some mammals are the Cuban Hutia - The Largest mammal of Cuba who is a member of the rodent family. The Greater Bulldog Bat which got its name by its bulldog-like face. The Cuban Solendon which is almost extinct. There is also a Small Indian Mongoose which was brought into Cuba to maintain the rodent population. Some reptiles are the Cuban ground iguana, Cuban crocodile and the Cuban boa. Those are some of the animals in Cuba!

Ok, whoever wrote that comment above is an ashole. People are here to get answers, not lame statements that have nothing to do with the topic or don't help people at all.

Cubaâ??s main exports are sugar and tobacco. They also make products from the sugar cane in Cuba, such as syrups and rum.

Pico Real del Turquino, elevation 6,578 ft. is located in the Sierra Maestra Mountains in the Southeastern end of Cuba.

The money unit used in Cuba is called 'Peso', 'Cuban Peso', to differentiate it from other currencies names of Latin American countries. There is another official currency, the 'convertible peso', which is the currency in which Cuban workers receive their wages.

The strait is called " The Strait Of Florida" and it separates the Florida Keys from Cuba.

There were several invasions of Cuba. First, the island was colonized by Christopher Columbus, who claimed it for Spain. In 1898, as part of the Spanish-American war, the United States invaded Cuba. In 1961, a number of Cuban exiles who had been forced out (or who had voluntarily left) when Fidel Castro took power, tried to reclaim the island, in what came to be known as the Bay of Pigs invasion. Their efforts failed and Cuba remained under the control of Castro.

Cuba's main exports are tobacco, nickel, sugar, and fruit i hope i helped

yes mate Greenland is huge its the second biggest island (discounting antarctica which is total covered by ice and has no permanent residents you could lose cuba in Greenland like change down a sofa cushion.

The Real Academia (Royal Academy) of Spain has declared Castilian Spanish as the the only "proper" Spanish, not the "Official" language.

Castilian refers to the region in which the official version of the Spanish language is spoken. All of Spain speaks Spanish, but with different accents and some slight difference in words or phrases. The same thing occurs with English within the British Isles and with English within the US.

Many English speakers feel that English as spoken by the English nobility is more proper than other versions. Try convincing Billy Bob in Alabama about that some time!

That declaration doesn't make it so. Languages are living, dynamic things. Who is to say what is proper and what is not? What makes these academics think they can impose their opinions on all the people around the world that speak the third most spoken language on the planet? What is proper is what gets the communicating job done between the people trying to communicate!

People from Castile feel quite free to correct other people in Spain who don't speak Castilian. What a bunch of nonsense!
