My name is Arlo Martinez, I am a 28 year old female who works as a loyal guard for Batista, I live in Cuba and have experienced the Cuban Revolution. Please read my journal.

Change & Continuity:

During the Cuban revolution two changes I found in the Cuban Revolution are more health care and education. Back when Batista was in power there wasn’t great education nor health care, but as Castro came along and went in power, he changed it, and he made education and healthcare better than what it was before. One more change I found was about the people, as Castro continued the revolution any people started to see it in a unique perspective and came to believe that Castro was doing this revolution for good. However, there were some things that still stayed the same. Two of those continuity’s were that they kept trading with sugar not as much as before but they didn’t completely stop trading with sugar instead trading sugar and other crops, another continuity I found was that they stayed in a stable ally with the Soviet Union. Even if they had some rocky days with their relationship, they still managed to have a decent ally with each other helping each other so that Castro’s revolution would succeed.
