History Of Cuba

In this experiment, the signal generator was set so that the frequency meter showed a reading of 1,803 Hz. The microphone was moved to a distance from the speaker so that the oscilloscope displayed a straight diagonal line. This position was of the microphone was recorded as the initial position, or beginning of a wavelength. The microphone was then moved farther in the same direction until the oscilloscope displays the same horizontal line. This position was recorded as final position, or the end of the wavelength. The distance between the two positions represents one wavelength for this frequency. This was repeated for frequencies of 2,402 Hz, 3,002, Hz, 3,602 Hz, and 4,201 Hz.

Four days ago there was a naked act of aggression against the United States. Our ship the USS Maine which was stationed in Havana Harbor in Cuba to keep the peace and attempt to ease tensions between the Spanish dogs and the Cuban rebels was destroyed. There are several theories circulating as to why the Maine exploded but the most prevalent is sabotage there are many suspected groups and individuals We have found that the Spanish are the most likely culprits. The Spanish Ambassador to America denies guilt profusely which is to be expected of the guilty party, he also often repeats it was an accident which tips our suspicions their way. The Cubans also claim that they know nothing although they have not yet been ruled out as suspect since

With the U.S now embarrassed by a failed invasion in Cuba, Fidel and Nikita Khrushchev allied forces. As a means to establish a level playing field during the Cold War, Khrushchev agreed to send arms and military support to Cuba. The arms would include nuclear warheads capable of inflicting immense damage to much of the United States. This plight would reestablish Russian dominance within the Cold War and deter further violence from U.S to Cuba. Under near complete secrecy, Khrushchev was able to move many SS-4 ballistic missiles and establish nuclear warhead sites across Cuba. Using high-resolution reconnaissance aircraft, American spy planes documented several areas of significance. These areas would be studied intensely over the next few

The Bay of Pigs is an inlet of the Gulf of Cazones located on the Southern Coast of Cuba (Ciment, 2). In 1960, one year after Fidel Castro overthrew corrupt U.S government, President Eisenhower and his administration approved a plan to overthrow Fidel Castro (“U.S Attempts to Overthrow Castro”, 1). The U.S wouldn’t be directly involved in the invasion but the Central Intelligence Alliance will train Cuban exiles in Guatemala to serve as the invasion force. Along with the Cuban exiles, Eisenhower believed that once the invasion begins, they will be joined with other Cubans that would want to overthrow Castro as well (Ciment, 2). Before Eisenhower was able to conduct the invasion, the New York Times reported about the training of Cuban exiles

Havana is one of the most architecturally diverse cities. In the beginning of the 20th century, Havana was an international influential powerhouse, enriched with art nouveau, art deco and eclectic design. This boom period was the turn in Cuba’s economical continuous changes throughout the times of change.

The United States has had a long history with Cuba. Within that long history came many arguments and accusations, such as the demand that Castro request that the U.S. embassy staff be reduced. Following that request came an outrageous accusation stating that the embassy was being used as a foundation for spies. This made U.S. officials think that Castro’s government was too anti-American to be trusted. Castro started nationalizing foreign property and companies as a response to the U.S., so the United States decided to cutback trades with Cuba. America tried to resolve the differences with Castro’s government through diplomacy. Seeing that they could not come to an agreement the united states decide to embargo trade with Cuba. Two months later, President John F. Kennedy unleashed the Cuban exile force which caused Castro’s military to kill or capture the exile troops.

The United States claimed that this act was a blatant violation of international law. They called upon the United Nations Security Council to impose the proper sanctions. The U.S. also called upon the International Civil Aviation Organization to investigate the incident. The ICAO concluded that the two planes were shot down over international waters. The President, in turn, suspended all charter flights to Cuba indefinitely. He imposed additional travel restrictions on Cuban diplomats in the U.S., and limited visits by Cuban officials to the United States.

operation mongoose was put on hold during the height of the cuban missile crisis but resumed after the tensions had reseided. the operations officially ended on october 30 after tthe kennedy and kruschev agreement but went on regardless. on october 21 kennedy met with his top avisers to discuss the situation in cuba, he considered two options; an airstrike on the cuban missile silos or a naval blockade. According to international law a blockade is an act of war, but Kennedy did not think that the USSR would be provoked to attack by a mere blockade. Additionally, legal experts at the State Department and Justice Department concluded that a declaration of war could be avoided so long as another legal justification, based on the Rio Treaty for defense of the Western Hemisphere, was obtained via a resolution by a two-thirds vote from the members or the Organization of American States. since they were only quarentining weapons and not all materials, and the blockade would take place in international waters kennedy obtained the approval of the organization of american states for military action under the hemispheric defense provisions of the Rio

Openly assisting and supporting paramilitary forces to overthrow the communist nation of Cuba, would have only increased tensions between the United States and Russia. Further, during this period, Cuban people were more supportive of Fidel Castro than that of a regime the United States wished to establish. Therefore a strategy for relieving Cuba of communism should have remained covert. The issues stem from the poor analysis, in which the United States heavily relied on the rebel forces to report on matters inside of Cuba. The poor analysis which reported the Cuban people supported the rebels, which was later found untrue. This error made the failure of the United States far worse than that if they had the support of the Cuban people. Ill communication between the white house administration and the CIA also caused the mission to fail from the

The CIA arranged more than 600 attempts to execute Fidel Castro, most of which were silly. They wanted to spray his broadcasting studio with a chemical which could produce erratic behaviour. They eventually had to cease this operation because the chemical was later proved to be unreliable and dangerous. Another method, was that they tried to soak a box of cigars with a chemical that induced temporary disorientation. The CIA had hoped Castro would smoke on of these cigars before giving a speech, however, it was not known whether or not Castro ever got the special cigars. Castro loved scuba-diving, so the CIA even tried to plant explosives in rocks or sea shells that would blow up once he came in close contact with them. The CIA also planned to dust his shoes with thallium salts. By doing this, they hoped his beard would fall off his face, which would therefore destroy his image. All of their assassination attempts failed even though they had numerous opportunities. As Castro continued to live on, the CIA did not like that Castro was unpredictable, so they decided they wanted a more American-friendly ruler to be replaced with him just to be safe. They began to make plans for Cuban exiles to infiltrate Cuba to get rid of him. This led to the Bay of Pigs invasion.

“140 dB” that word ring a bell. “dB” is the volume’s unit. Even if you listen to this thing, there must be few people who understand the volume. Generally speaking, library is 40dB. Genaral conversation is 60dB. In the train is 80dB. It’s 10 times between the 40 dB and 80dB. It’s 100 times between the 40dB and 80dB. In other words, it’s said to be about 10000 times by which the size as the 140 dB is general conversation, it will be. Can you imagine? People in Okinawa are experieng that every day. The sky where an American fighter is Okinawa by the incredible tone as the 140dB, it’s flying about. People in Okinawa were being disturbed by this noise all the while so far from the postwar. I’m having people’s a lot of influence

Today, most Bahamians know little about the incident, which traumatized the country for months. In fact, the anniversary of this event, which the Castro government described as "a regrettable confusion", passed almost unnoticed.

He has everyone on a tight leash by limiting what is allowed on the radio, TV, and even in the library He controls everyone’s moves and doesn’t want anyone going against what he believes. Backer confirms that there are things going on underground in Cuba that can’t really be stopped like the type of music people listen to in Havana. What people don’t know is that it is perfectly legal to record any type of music. (par. 1)

Christine: Of course not. It’s confidential. If so, everyone will know the weak spot of the US, and our enemy will attack us. Chi: Which means that you don’t have access to any kind of information.

In 1492, Christopher Columbus landed on what is now Bariay, Holguin province. He claimed this piece of land for Spain and originally named it Isla Juana after the Prince of Asturias, Juan. In the mid-16th century an outbreak of measles wiped out two-thirds of the natives, which most of them had survived the outbreak of smallpox previously. In the 19th century Cuba’s people were slaves, outraged slaves began to rebel with the intention to win independence from the Spanish. In April of 1898 Spain and Cuba went to war with Americas involvement which resulted in the Treaty of Paris in August of 1898 where Spain ceded Puerto Rico, Philippines, Cuba, and Guam. On May 20, 1902 The United States of America allowed Cuba to gain its independence. The newly written constitution stated that the United States retained the right to intervene in Cuba’s affairs. In 1933 the Sergeants’ revolt occurred. Leader of the revolt, Sergeant Fulgencio Batista overthrew Cespedes. After Cespedes was overthrown Ramon Grau San Martin was named as provisional president, but in 1934 he resigned leaving Batista the presidency. Eventually Cuban natives were unsatisfied with the way Batista ran the country; exiled in 1959 Batista fled to Portugal. Eventually Fidel Castro took over and converted the country to communism, which led Cuba into the best and the worst of times.
