Second, here you go: The 2 main ways that the United States has influenced Cubans is during the 50's and earlier with the casinos and tourism, and in the last 40 years or so, with our sanctions on them. First off, under Batista's rule, the United States supported him even though they knew he was a ruthless leader. This was because we were fighting the Cold War at the time and were commited to keeping Communism (Castro) out of any country we could. Batista returned the favor by making island resorts for rich white people to come and vacation on. After Batista was overthrown and Castro had taken control, the United States enacted severe sanctions against Cuba, basically forcing it to become basically self sufficient.
