The Uprising of the Cuban Revolution: Interests, Motivations, and Ultimate Conflicts

The Uprising of the Cuban Revolution: Interests, motivations, and ultimate conflicts

The crisis of the Cuban Revolution and U.S. involvement remains a controversial topic in Latin American history. Over the last 5 ½ decades the government of Cuba has undergone significant changes as a result of United States military, economic, and political interference. Many historians use valuable information as evidence to understand how and why the Revolution began, results of the Revolution, and overall effects of the Revolution

The ongoing conflicts of the Cuban Revolution has posed significant theories for understanding the development of a such a long sought after war and on the internal struggles of a single nation unified by rebellion and guerilla warfare.

Many of Cuba’s leaders have created a nation influenced by their own feelings and attitudes from previous conflict between United States involvements. The 50’s and 60’s provide historians a brilliant array of knowledge about some of the country’s most strategic implementations ever recorded in relation to United States Foreign policy.

During this time, one can infer an emergence of a leftist anti-imperialist views and opposition to right wing United States government affairs. Thus, prominent leaders as Fidel Castro primarily exemplify how strongly opinions of Cuban citizens became during the early 50’s as a result of opposition to government policy.

In the end, the at one time respected nation of Cuba had took a different approach to settling matters and fell as victim to United States opposition and systemic conflict. However, many of Cuba’s strong anti-imperialist power grew heavy on other internal matters within Latin America that greatly increased tensions among other countries as I will describe in this essay.

As previously mentioned, Cuba became concerned after the first Revolution in the early 30’s. Since then, the nation has taken a more direct radical control of its leaders. As a result, United States interference made it possible for those underprivileged or anti-communists to participate in organizations implemented by the presidential administration of William Howard Taft.

However, Cuba, as a well-economic nation of Latin America depended primarily on the higher elite working class to run and dominate the government. This practice greatly defined Cuba’s internal politics and established closer working connections with other rejected elites in relation to Cuba’s corrupt bureaucratic over system.
