Talk:History of Cuba
ObadiahKatz (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 04:08, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply] As there's no clarification by now on this I think it should be changed to "rice" to avoid confusion.
I believe that should be "the USA blockaded USSR ships in international waters to prevent them from delivering missiles to newly-built launch sites in Cuba".
By the beginning of US contact General Calixto Garcia, having taken most places on the Cauto plains, was sitting in Bayamo after the Spanish had fled.
(El Jigüe, 11/2/2005) I've removed the following which mixes some fact and some fiction with sweeping generalizations to arrive at a highly POV result.
☮ Eclecticology 05:54, 2003 Nov 14 (UTC):===Soviet and Chinese Influence=== An instance of plagiarism has been brought to my attention: Compare that sentence to the following, which appears at [4]: Identical but for the words dictatorial, many, and rural, and Revolutionary, which were deleted.

Vanessa kelly 03:35, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply] A paragraph from "Race and Women": The claim regarding Carlos Manuel de Cespedes is unsubstantiated here or in the separate article about him.
The footnoted reference for the Carlos Prio/Celia Touzet claim is a cached gossip item from what appears to be a Miami talk radio station.
El Jigue 11-12-06 No mention in this article that when Christopher Colombus explored the island he thought it could be Cipango (european name for Japan at that time), since Colombus was looking for a short route to Asia.--tequendamia 11:59, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply] Fidel... as a student-gangster, one of the "trigger happy boys" (los muchachos del gatillo alegre) Enrique Ros and is widely believed responsible for several murders.
Chibás , entangled in an accusation that proved false After a very promising start in his first (elected) term his policy was now very hard on the people and discontentment grew.
There needs to be something about Angola (that looms large in the history of Cubans - almost the way Vietnam does for Americans - except the side Cuba supported won.
Sundar1 11:21, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply] Correction: The 450.000 troops refer to the overall involvement over the period of 25 years which, in light of the total population of Cuba, is an impressive figure.
This isn't surprising given the amount of Cuban exiles who are quite vocal about Castro but it is disappointing to see them vandalise an article like this on Wikipedia.--Senor Freebie (talk) 02:13, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply] Biased as hell.
Wtmitchell Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 04:07, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply] "The Black Book of Communism" is not neutral — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.91.152.118 (talk) 17:07, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply] User:Luis Napoles, I have recently reverted this large edit you made to this article with the explanation of "clean up" - and thus I wanted to take the chance here to explain my reasoning for doing so - and allow you to provide rationale for the array of alterations which took place in this single edit.
(2) To your deletions regarding the U.S. Foraker Amendment etc, do you dispute the factual accuracy of these notations, or are you removing them because the citation needed tag you possibly placed there was not answered?
(Nearly all are unanimous on this both left and right) (10) You have removed mention of the Battle of Cuito Cuanavale which had no fact tag or anything and merely called it a "military excursion", is it your view that this somehow provides more information to the reader?
Use of modern refining techniques was especially important because the British abolished the slave trade in 1807 and, after 1815, began forcing other countries to follow suit.
Cubans were torn between the profits generated by sugar and a repugnance for slavery, which they saw as morally, politically, and racially dangerous to their society.
They began to use water mills, enclosed furnaces, and steam engines to produce a higher quality of sugar at a much more efficient pace than elsewhere in the Caribbean.
The prosperity seen from the boom in sugar production is a major reason that Cuban ethnicity became further enriched by new influx of Spanish migrants.

Entomas (talk) 11:48, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply] It would be helpful if months were provided, so that readers could have a sense of the pace of Castro's actions.
For example: dates, or at least months, should be provided for the following: "The new government of Cuba soon encountered opposition from militant groups and from the United States, which had supported Batista politically and economically.
Reference named "Miami Herald":I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not.
