I just read the article in then newest issue of upfront magazine about the Cuban Revolution. The article tells about the history of Cuba from 1959 to the present.It follows the events after the Revolution and the events that followed.
In the article one of the first events mentioned is from 1933-1959 is when the dictator Batista ruled over Cuba. Finally though in 1959 at the end of his reign Fidel Castro a Socialist Revolutionary overthrows the government . He establishes a communist state in Cuba which began a many decade long bitter confrontation between Cuba and the United States.
Recently however Cuba hasn't been doing well.There are food shortages and very few people can have their own private businesses. The only cars in use are from the 1950s because that was the last time they traded with the United States of America. They also have very little access to the internet and they have regulated television.
Cuba as a country has been doing terribly recently but things are looking somewhat up.Even though things economically aren't doing well the US is taking steps towards negotiation with Cuba.
