17. Background on Cuban American Relations The US was once very friendly with Cuba. We owned sugar plantations and sugar processing plants there. Americans vacationed in Cuba the way we go to Disneyland today. Cubans often did not benefit from the money the US made in the country. The US supported Batista, a corrupt dictator, because he let the US do what they wanted. Castro overthrows Batista and takes over the country. He tries to work with the US, but eventually throws them out of Cuba and takes their land and factories for the Cuban people under communism. The US retaliates by ending all trade and visitation rights. No more tourists! The USSR steps in, buying Cuban sugar and sending Soviets to vacation there. Castro and Khrushchev work together closely. President Kennedy also backs the Bay of Pigs Invasion where Cuban rebels were trained by the US military and assisted in invading Cuba to overthrow Castro. They are defeated and captured when the US backs out of the invasion at the last minute.
