A huge supplier of sugar in the late 1800’s and a leisure destination for Americas rich and famous, its ties suddenly changed when Fidel Castro’s overthrew the Battista regime, announced his Communist intentions and turned to the Communist influence of the Soviet Union.

signed the Cuban Embargo into law in February 1962. February 7th, 2012 was the 50th anniversary of the embargo whose goal was to stronghold Cuba into adopting a democratic government.
