🇨🇺 Main Topic: Why Cuba Hates U.S. Foreign Policy

🧩 Core Argument

Cuba’s hostility toward the U.S. stems from:

• A long history of American imperialism, economic sabotage, and violence.
• Ongoing sanctions and regime-change efforts that continue to impoverish the Cuban population.
• U.S. hypocrisy: while claiming to support “democracy,” it has tried for decades to overthrow Cuba’s actual sovereignty and popular government.

📜 Part 1: Historical U.S. Control Over Cuba

🏴‍☠️ Post-Spanish-American War (1898)

• Cuba becomes a U.S. protectorate under a U.S.-imposed constitution.
• U.S. gains intervention rights, financial control, and leases Guantánamo Bay—still occupied today.
• Cubans excluded from sovereignty decisions.

⚖️ Early 20th Century Interventions

• Voting restricted to wealthy, male, non-Black Cubans.
• U.S. intervenes militarily in response to unrest (e.g., 1906 occupation, Magoon as U.S. “governor”).
• Political corruption and social instability worsened by American interference.
