History The island of Cuba was inhabited by various Mesoamerican cultures until the arrival of the Spanish in 1492. Upon arrival, Spain conquered Cuba and appointed Spanish governors to rule in Havana. In 1762, Havana was briefly occupied by Great Britain and then returned to Spain in exchange for Florida. A series of uprisings in the 19th century failed to end Spanish rule. However, the Spanish-American War led to the withdrawal of Spain from the island in 1898, and after three and a half years of subsequent US military rule, Cuba gained formal independence in 1902.

In the years following independence, the Cuban republic experienced significant economic development, as well as political corruption and a string of despotic leaders, culminating in the overthrow of dictator Fulgencio Batista by the July 26 Movement, led by Fidel and Raul Castro Ruz, during the Cuban Revolution of 1953-1959 years. Since then, Cuba as a socialist state has been ruled by the Communist Party under the leadership of the Castro brothers. The country was politically and economically isolated by the United States after the revolution, but gradually gained access to foreign trade and travel as efforts to normalize diplomatic relations advanced. Domestic economic reforms are also beginning to modernize the socialist economy Cuba.
