By: Bill McKibben
            The Cuban government is faced with embargo acts. The U.S has taken the out of trade with some very valuable nations. The Cuban government has to figure out how they will survive. They found that their only option is to grow mostly everything for them self. They funded back all of their earning into their education system so that the children will turn into experts in agriculture. The nation did prosper and do very well on its own.
A Nation among Nations: America’s Place in World History
By: Thomas Bender
The American government intervened in Cuba’s revolution against Spain. This reading portion helps me get a little background information on the connection between the Cuban and American governments. American government didn’t want the Cuban government to have its independence, they were making The Cuban government prove them self first. Then the American government had the Cuban government add an amendment in their constitution that America had land in Cuban, known as Guantanamo bay.  That seems to be the start of conflicts and connection between the two nations.
