Question: About Puerto Rico
    #11572283 - 12/02/09 07:48 PM (14 years, 3 months ago)

Need some help with a few questions pertaining to the Caribbean, if you happen to know something about it and wouldn't mind posting it that'd be great +5 :awesome:

Good answers would be great, but even if you can point us in the right direction to where we can find the answer that'd be just as good..Just post either.

Thanks.






1.) Why has Cuba failed to achieve political and economic stability, despite its abundant natural and human resources? Are the US and/or major Cuban leaders including machado, batista, and castro primarily to blame for Cubas failures?

2.)Did the US really need the support of Rafael Trujillo and Fulgencio Batista during WWII? What was the price that we paid for keeping these regimes in power?

3.)Some scholars believe that the US could have built constructive ties with Fidel Castros Cuba and that Washingtons paranoid fears of communism in the Western Hemisphere is the primary reason why these two countries remain bitter enemies. What do you think, and WHY,


Bonus Question
----------------
Why did the US annex Puerto Rico but not the Philippine after the war of 1898? Why is Puerto Rico still a US teritory.

>Why did the US annex Puerto Rico but not the Philippine after the war of 1898?

Tropical island, close to home, free of slavery.

>Why is Puerto Rico still a US teritory
Because the vote splits three ways: Statehood, independence, or stay the same.

It's my understanding there are not many national resources(metals-fuels), other than sugar.
One reason for the economic issues is the reliance on asian and european countries on all imports because of the lack of resources but mainly the poor U.S. relationship.

It's an interesting bit of US history.
We took both islands from Spain. Kept one, set the other free. All within about 2 years(?)

Oh, you're welcome. I love PR history, but I barely know enough to even start.
