The Cuban Revolution may not have been as well known as other revolutions, but its impact on Latin America has been felt (and is still being felt!). It’s a tale of bravery and battles against all odds of a small island nation in the Caribbean that became a hotbed for Cold War politics. However, that’s not all – this revolution had far-reaching consequences that almost led to a nuclear war between two economic superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union! And why did America, Cuba’s leading trade partner, place a trade embargo on its crucial sugar exports? The answers to these questions and more will be revealed in the fascinating story of the Cuban Revolution, explained in Plain English. (8-1 edition)
