What type of government did Cuba have before the Cuban revolution?

Before the Cuban Revolution, Cuba was a constitutional republic, governed by the Constitution of 1940, widely regarded as a very progressive constitution for that time. Following the coup d'état by Fulgencio Batista in 1952, parts of the constitution were suspended. Prior to seizing power, Fidel Castro and his group of revolutionaries claimed, in the Manifiesto de la Sierra Maestra, that one of their goals was to reinstate the Constitution of 1940. Once in power, the revolutionaries reneged on their promise and abrogated the Constitution of 1940.

Is guantanamo bay a us territory?

The U.S. Naval Base Guantanamo Bay is both the oldest U.S. overseas base and the only one to be located within a Communist country. It is not considered an official territory, overseen by the Department of the Interior, but is, instead, overseen by the U.S. Navy.

The history of "GITMO" begins in December 1903, when the United States leases the 45 square miles of land and water from our then Ally, Cuba, for use, primarily as a coaling station.

A later treaty, singed in 1943, reaffirmed and, effectively, prolonged the lease indefinitely. That lease granted Cuba and her trading partners free access through the bay, a payment of $2,000 in gold per year, which equates to roughly $4,085 in 2010, and added a requirement that both the U.S. and Cuba must mutually consent to terminate the lease.
