"Batista was a great allie to the United States, he was always fully supported by the American people"

Thats what I learn. Ha Ha Ha.

Its funny, america says the support the democracy, and what the people think. Most of the people in Cuba support Castro, and Batista was not for the people or damocratic at all, yet the americans support Batista.

Me and the man in the red suite have history class together. We always thought that our teacher was a damn rightist, but he turned out to be a little bit of a pinko. :)

History with the capitalistic interpretation is the part of capitalistic ideology. Which is - BRAINWASHING of the US citizens or whatever capitalistic country.

Americans supported Batista, because he have let them to rob Cuba. Batista really was a great allie of the US and the renegade of the Cuban nation. Does your textbook say that? I am not sure.

Hmmm did we just learn about these weapons? Or is this just a thought. .it hasn't been proven yet? Their just assuming?

When America looks for allies it does not look for them in the developed world. What need do they have for allies like that. America searchs for third world countries to exploit, it is partially because of this that the cold war started. Russias resistance to be a natural resource state for America and Western society was seen as a threat to the US especially since Russia was Communist. There is no specific Ideology that America is against, it is simply the fact that America fears indiginous Nationalism, like that which can be seen in Cuba.

The US policy towards gangster allies did not change, there are countless others, noriga (spelling) in Panama for example, until he became a liablity, same with saddam in Iraq.

Nateddi,

The history of Cuba is one of colonialism, and when the Cuban people tried for democracy, the US supported Batista's coup. Batista suspended the constitution and cancelled the election. During his time in power, "about 85 percent of Cuba's trade was with the US. Foreigners, mainly from the United States, owned 75 percent of arable land; 90 percent of services like water, electricity, and phones; and 40 percent of the sugar industry. Super exploitation and Batista's dictatorship incited the revolution, led by Fidel Castro, that finally triumphed on January 1,1959."

You might want to read the source I linked. Fact is, the neocolonialism by the US kept a few elite Cubans very wealthy and allowed the nation's wealth to flow into the pockets of foreigners.

Dammit, I fucking hate it when people act Batista was some kind of hero of democracy. The only reason the American govt. was such a huge fan of Fulgencio is because he traded almost exclusively with US companies. He also allowed massive establishment of US industry in Cuba including textile factories, distilleries, machinery plants, fruit imports, and various mining operations. Batista allowed Cuba to become a haven for criminals with all of his connections to the mafia and their casinos. A large portion of the US senate wanted to keep him in power because of his criminal connections. This is not to mention the total poverty he allowed his people to succumb to under his dictatorship. Yep, Batista was a regular democrat.

I really hope Batistanationalista has something to say, if he hasnt already been banned.

Amerikan officials and the major corps used havanna as there own personal resort. On top of that they used the cubans for laborers. Only if cuba was bigger in mass and had more needed natural resources they might've made a bigger impact on the world as far as the world have a better perspective on Communism
