The United States, at the time when we became more involved in Cuba, was not having very peaceful relations with Spain. Spain had control over Cuba at the time. The Cubans began to rebel against Cuba, and the United States also went in and helped Cuba out, starting the Spanish-American War. The United States later won the war, though. After this, War in the Philippines began almost as a sequel, but that is a whole different story. Hoope this helped you out.

They start with non-partisan candidates in municipal elections. Then you have the national elections in which up to 50% of the delegates must be picked by municipal assemblies. The other candidates are proposed by nominating assemblies and the representatives represent workers, women, students, youth, and farmers, as well as members of the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution after a meeting for a first list of names. there's one candidate for every seat(614). Candidates must get at least 50% of the votes or else there is another meeting for a sceond name list to help fill the remaining seats. Despite fair elections, they have never had to have a second names list.

cuba is a totalitarian state, which allows their leader to have absolute power over the country, as they do not follow a constitution

Cuba is a socialist democracy where people decide the goverment. On Cuba the people want to keep the Communist regime because everyone has jobs and a place to live. It´s not a dictatorship because the people decides if the goverment should be or if they want another goverment.

The government of Fidel Castro was communist. He was Prime Minister of Cuba from 1959 to 1976, and President from 1976 to 2008. Under his administration the Republic of Cuba became a one-party socialist state; industry and businesses were nationalized, and socialist reforms implemented in all areas of society.

Castro probably did some good - when he wasn't putting bullets into the heads of men, women and children but he was He was a mass-murderer. There was no free press and no exposure to human right abuses and a government who ensures that these issues are swept under the carpet.

From personal experience I can say that the development of Socialism as the economic policy of Cuba has helped its citizens development considerably. IE: Before the revolution 70% of arable land was owned by the USA and over 90% of Capital by foreign investment. The improvement of human rights and public welfare became the State's primary concerns, these areas saw drastic improvement in the years following the revolution. The level of Democracy enjoyed by the population also drastically improved, the government was heavily de-centralized and the role of president was reduced over several decades. While Cuba has a single party, the diversity within the Communist Party is evident. In fact, nearly half of parliamentary seats are held by Independents, non-Communist Socialists, Liberals and Social democrats. This distribution of power has led to problems over the last two decades, when a certain regions administration commits a particular breach of its citizens human rights these violations are commonly attributed to the entire government. This same power structure has led to representatives voting in favor of certain laws that restrict travel of Cuban citizens and recently access to certain hotels to sell items. With all things considered, the Socialist revolution has been beneficial for the Lower and Middle classes of Cuba. It has also helped Cuba persevere through the "Special Period" of economic depression following the collapse of the Soviet bloc.

Fidel Castro gained control of Cuba by "overthrowing" the Cuban dictator Flugencio Batista in 1959. His efforts to overthrow the government in the early 1950's was to large extent a failure, and led to him being imprisoned. He did not serve his full term in prison as he was "pardoned" by Batista. He went in exile in Latin America where he joined forces with Che Guevara, who eventually helped him to overthrow Batista. Castro adopted the ideology of Jose Marti, as he was and still is anti-American.
