Une histoire de Cuba et d'Espagne: pour les nuls

Contrairement au reste des territoires americains, son affranchissement n'est ni le resultat d'un processus independantiste ni de decolonisation. Bien que l'on l'oublie souvent, elle doit son statut actuel a une intervention des Etats-Unis. L'intercession nord-americaine etait souhaitee par une partie minoritaire de la population espagnole qui se disputait violemment les benefices de l'expansion economique de la Province avec Madrid. De lors, le fruit qui etait Cuba en 1898 tomba dans le panier americain. Le transfert de souverainete fut negocie a Paris...

In the sixteenth century hundreds of thousands of indios indigenous peoples from the territories of the Spanish empire were enslaved and relocated throughout the Iberian world.
