Hello Professor
The Cold War a conflict that blemished the Soviet Union against the U.S. This conflict was a brawl between the U.S and the Soviet Union, it was a very big impact on the other countries. President Kennedy was in office at that time. Fidel Castro was one of the leaders of Cuba. President Kennedy had intended to do away with Castro, so he put a plan in motion to accomplish it. A Cuba Missile Crisis, occurred at the Cold War, it had a major impact on Cuba. The Kennedy cabinet did not allow nuclear weapons to be within reaching a strike in U.S mainland”(Duiker, 2015,p. 160).
Democracy was not successful, because the industrialization, the problem of our land. We hand problems with housing, unemployment, and education, and health were issues that Castro wanted to address with other Cubans ( Lerer, 2017). The task were not completed by Castro. The promises he made were not meet for the people. Castro stated that the democracy didn’t function in the Cuban country.
The democracy was failing, because many people were dying as a result of Castro’s dictatorship. Castro wanted to pay more attention to sugar and tobacco other then weapons. He told les to the country . because he never had attentions on helping the crops in the country, In turn the crops shot up as he planned it to do. Instead of putting money into weapon he invested in crops, he told all of Cuba to do the same. Castro did not stay with the economic game, so the Soviet Union had to supply Cuba with weapons so they could keep the military location close to the US (Lerer,2017).
The political system changed in Cuba once the government was liberal. This is the governed democracy by the people. Democracy was a made up in various classes and other political parties, that joined together to choose what was going to be best for the country.
