The document provides background information on the Cuban Revolution led by Fidel Castro that overthrew the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista in 1959. It discusses how Castro launched a rebel campaign against Batista's government for seven years, finally defeating Batista and establishing a communist government in Cuba. This led to tensions with the US and a decades-long economic embargo, as Castro nationalized American-owned businesses and allied with the Soviet Union.

The Bay of Pigs negativley impacts our relations with cuba
The Bay of Pigs invasion was one of the first attempts sponsored by the U.S. government to overthrow the government of Cuba. The operation was organized and funded by the CIA. The invasion was a disaster for the administration of President Kennedy, which had authorized the mission. This operation is one of the first of events that lead to cuban missile crisis, which turned into hostile diplomatic talks between Fidel Castro and Political structure of America.
Once Cuba's revolutionary leader, Fidel Castro, announced his conversion to Marxist-Leninist principles in early 1961, the government of the United States could no longer abide the provocation of a communist government only 90 miles off the coast of Florida Close to 200,000 Cuban citizens, mostly upper- and middle-class people, had abandoned the island in the early days of the revolution. From Miami and other Florida cities, they exerted pressure on the U.S. government to restore a more traditional government in Cuba. The CIA undertook to organize those and other fighters in the Caribbean region who had worked for the CIA in previous insurgent actions.
The Kennedy administration, the CIA, and the exiles badly underestimated the popularity of the revolution in Cuba and the loyalty of the people there to Castro. Anticipating that the invasion would incite a popular rebellion that would bring down the government, the invasion plan went ahead with insufficient forces. On April 17, 1961, some 1,500 exiles landed in the swampy terrain of Playa Girón (Bay of Pigs) and were easily defeated by well-organized Cuban troops. The Kennedy administration, seeking to avoid further identification with this fiasco, refused to provide the air cover that the exiles had believed was part of the deal.
Most of the invaders were easily captured by Castro's forces and were traded for food and medical supplies in December 1962.
The turnout of the bay of pigs causes a game of missile tag between Cuba's and the America's H-bombs. Hostility erupts between both diplomatic powers and they struggle to reach a peace agreement to remove all missile sites.
Fidel Castro reads a U.s. newspaper in laughter about the failure of the U.S. diplomacy trying to assassinate him through the bay of pigs

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

5. Background Info…
Cuba gained its independence from Spain in
1898.
In the 1900s, Cuba’s wealth was controlled
by American companies.
The main businesses in Cuba were sugar and
mining companies.
The dictator of Cuba until 1959 was
Fulgencio Batista.
7. Cuban Revolution
Batista had originally been elected as
president, but made himself dictator
Many people were unhappy with his rule:
poverty, education was poor, and healthcare
was limited
Batista also cancelled all free elections.
Fidel Castro led a group of rebels against
Batista’s government.
9. Cuban Revolution
Castro attempted to overthrow Batista’s government for seven
years.
Castro and his “army” lost many battles to Batista – he was even
arrested and sentenced to 15 years in jail!
Castro was released in 1955 after only two years and fled to
Mexico to put together a new group of rebel fighters.
He defeated the Batista government and made himself dictator
of Cuba in 1959.
The US originally backed Castro because he promised to make the country
a democracy.
US sent him supplies to help defeat Batista.
11. Castro’s Government
Castro began organizing a communist
government right away:
declared all property belonging to Americans now belonged
to the government
all farms, factories, & businesses now belonged to the
government
Cubans no longer had the right to protest against the
government
Cuban newspapers, radio, & TV were shut down
government became only source for news
churches were closed & property was taken over by
government
12. Cuba Vs. US
Castro’s government & the US government did
not get along so well.
US did not like having a communist country so
close.
Americans who owned land/businesses in Cuba
lost their property.
Castro forced American civilians to leave Cuba.
US did not like Cuba being “friends” with the
Soviet Union (Cold War…).
13. Cuba: Bay of Pigs
The purpose was to overthrow Castro.
The plan was to arm Cuban exiles living in
Florida.
Once the exiles arrived in Cuba, unhappy
Cubans would join them at the Bay of Pigs and
overthrow Castro.
The invasion was a disaster because Castro’s
forces intercepted the plan and captured the
invaders.
No rebellion against Castro occurred, but this
sparked a deep hatred for US.
16. Cuban Missile Crisis
In October of 1962, US planes spotted secret Soviet
missile bases in Cuba.
10/22: President Kennedy announced that the Soviets
had placed long-range missiles in Cuba.
Extremely TENSE time…could have led to WWIII
Resolution:
President Kennedy agreed not to invade Cuba and to
remove US missiles from Turkey; in return, Khrushchev
agreed to remove the missiles from Cuba.

19. Castro’s Impact on Cuba’s
Economy
Due to the harsh events, US placed an
embargo on goods from Cuba in 1962:
Cuba’s sugar cane crop could no longer be sold
in the US, which hurt Cuba’s economy.
It’s still in place today.
As a result of the embargo, poor harvests,
and bad government planning, Cuba’s
economy has become very poor.
21. US-Cuban Relations
Relations have not improved much over the past
50 years.
There is still an embargo on goods from Cuba.
In the early 1980s & 1990s, there were periods in
which large numbers of Cubans escaped their
island for America.
thousands left because Castro would not allow
free elections, freedom of speech, freedom of
press, etc
1994—now the US only accepts 20,000
immigrants per year
23. Castro Update
After a decline in health, Fidel Castro gave
up the Cuban presidency on February 19,
2008. His brother, Raul, is now the Cuban
leader.
There is much speculation about whether or
not Fidel Castro is actually alive today.
