Cuba

It was Virgin Mary.

Legend has it that a man took a piece of cloth into the desert with his camel. He turned and saw Mary (Cobre), who put her face on his cloth.

Maceo, a hero of Cuba's wars of independence against Spain, is said to have paid tribute to the Virgin of Cobre before he left to take up the fight. Sometimes she is called the Virgin of the Mambises after the name of the 19th century independence fighters and is very much a symbol of Cuban nationalism.

According to the most popular history of the Virgin of Cobre, three boatmen discovered a floating wooden statue of the Virgin in 1606 in the Bay of Nipe in northeastern Cuba and brought it to El Cobre, a copper mining town. The present sanctuary was built in 1927.

The Virgin of Cobre is depicted as mulatto, making her attractive across Cuba's multihued racial spectrum. She also has an appeal beyond pure Catholicism as the Santeria deity Oshun, who is a maternal, sensual figure, a mistress of love, femininity and water.

Santeria, a religion of African origin, came to Cuba with the slaves who were brought there under Spanish colonialism. A process of mingling, "syncretism,'' has produced parallels between Santeria divinities or saints and the Catholic saints.

Whether inspired by revolutionary or Catholic faith, or neither, many Cubans have a sentimental attachment to the Virgin of Cobre. Historian Olga Portuondo wrote that after Fidel Castro's 1959 revolution crowds surged to the shrine to give thanks for the end of Fulgencio Bastista's dictatorship.

In her history of the Virgin of Cobre, Portuondo briefly sums up what followed: "Social tensions prompted many faithful to leave the Catholic Church. With the revolution, the people looked for the conquest of heaven on Earth.''

Al Capone is dead.

Yes. The Cuban alligator is small - say 6 to 6.5 feet long, very intelligent, and has longer, stronger legs than the American alligators.

There is some good evidence that the Cuban alligators sometimes hunt in packs, like wolves. They live on land better than other alligators.

Unfortunately, the Cuban Alligator is endangered, and is found in only two locations in Cuba.

Vaquero. In fact "cowboy" is the literal translation of such word.

If the pilot has a license to spend money in Cuba, the plane can legally be refueled in Cuba. Unfortunately, if you're not a journalist, academic researcher or Cuban-American who has family in Cuba, you can't get this license.

Is this regarding the Cold War? You should note that the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 between the U.S. vs. Russia and Cuba because of the U.S's Jupiter IRBMs in Turkey. Russia threatened to launch missiles they had in Cuba at the U.S. had they not removed the IRBMs from Turkey.

The Platt Amendment

Christopher Columbus in 1492

They went to Havana, Varadero, Baracoa, and many other towns and seaside resorts. Havana was the center of nightlife with many nightclubs such as the Tropicana, the Sans Souci, and the Montmatre. Havana also had casinos like the Riviera Hotel and Casino. Varadero was a tourist attraction for sun and sea lovers, crystal blue waters and sparkling white sand. Baracoa is the oldest settlement in Cuba, established in 1511.

it has land for humans to live on and it has rivers and also trees that produce fruit for humans to consume such as guava and corn is grown there too

When Columbus first landed on Cuba it was inhabited by the Ciboney, a friendly tribe related to the Arawak. Colonization of the island began in 1511, when the Spanish soldier Diego Velázquez established the town of Baracoa. Velázquez subsequently founded several other settlements, including Santiago de Cuba in 1514 and Havana in 1515. The Spanish transformed Cuba into a supply base for their expeditions to Mexico and Florida. As a result of savage treatment and exploitation, the aborigines became, by the middle of the 16th century, nearly extinct, forcing the colonists to depend on imported black slaves for the operation of the mines and plantations.

Total armed strength was estimated at 46,000 on active duty and 39,000 reserves.
