In the 1950s, an armed uprising broke out in Cuba. After more than five years of armed struggle, the American continent won in 1959 and 65438+ 10, and the first socialist country was established. Cuba, located in the northwest of the Caribbean, is the largest island country in the West Indies.

Cuba was once a colony of Spain. During the 30 years from 1868 to 1898, the Cuban people fought two wars of independence for independence and liberation. However, when the Cuban people were about to drive out the Spanish colonists, the United States extended a hand to Cuba.

From 65438 to 0898, the United States, whose capitalism has entered the stage of imperialism, launched a war against Spain. After the war, the United States implemented a neo-colonial policy in Cuba, fostered pro-American forces, forced Cuba to accept the "platt amendment", and stipulated that the United States had the right to interfere in Cuba's internal affairs and establish a naval base in Cuba. 1902, Cuba announced the establishment of a Republic, but by the 1950s, successive governments were under the control of the United States.
