Cuba, officially the Republic of Cuba (Spanish: República de Cuba ), is a country comprising the islands of Cuba, Isla de la Juventud and several archipelagos in the Caribbean Sea. The capital and largest city Havana is 365 km (227 mi) from Miami, Florida. Geographically, Cuba is considered part of North America. Culturally, it is considered part of Latin America.
Prior to Spanish colonization in the late 15th century, Cuba was inhabited by Amerindian tribes. It remained a colony of Spain until the Spanish–American War of 1898, which led to nominal independence as a de facto U.S. protectorate in 1902. As a fragile republic, Cuba attempted to strengthen its democratic system, but mounting political radicalization and social strife culminated in the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista in 1952. Further unrest and instability led to Batista's ousting in January 1959 by the July 26 movement, which afterwards established a government under the leadership of Fidel Castro. Since 1965, the country has been governed by the Communist Party of Cuba.
Havana (/həˈvænə/; Spanish: La Habana, [la aˈβana]) is the capital city, largest city, province, major port, and leading commercial centre of Cuba. The city proper has a population of 2.1 million inhabitants, and it spans a total of 728.26 km2 (281.18 sq mi) – making it the largest city by area, the most populous city, and the third largest metropolitan area in the Caribbean region. The city extends mostly westward and southward from the bay, which is entered through a narrow inlet and which divides into three main harbours: Marimelena, Guanabacoa and Atarés. The sluggish Almendares River traverses the city from south to north, entering the Straits of Florida a few miles west of the bay.
The city of Havana was founded by the Spanish in the 16th century and due to its strategic location it served as a springboard for the Spanish conquest of the continent becoming a stopping point for the treasure-laden Spanish galleons on the crossing between the New World and the Old World. King Philip II of Spain granted Havana the title of City in 1592. Walls as well as forts were built to protect the old city. The sinking of the U.S. battleship Maine in Havana's harbor in 1898 was the immediate cause of the Spanish–American War.

The United States of America (USA), commonly referred to as the United States (U.S.) or America, is a federal republic composed of 50 states, a federal district, five major territories and various possessions. The 48 contiguous states and Washington, D.C., are in central North America between Canada and Mexico. The state of Alaska is in the northwestern part of North America and the state of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific. The territories are scattered about the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. At 3.8 million square miles (9.842 million km2) and with over 320 million people, the country is the world's third or fourth-largest by total area and the third most populous. It is one of the world's most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations, the product of large-scale immigration from many countries. The geography and climate of the United States are also extremely diverse, and the country is home to a wide variety of wildlife.
New York is a state in the Northeastern United States and is the United States' 27th-most extensive, fourth-most populous, and seventh-most densely populated state. New York is bordered by New Jersey and Pennsylvania to the south and Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont to the east. The state has a maritime border in the Atlantic Ocean with Rhode Island, east of Long Island, as well as an international border with the Canadian provinces of Quebec to the north and Ontario to the west and north. The state of New York, with an estimated 19.8 million residents in 2015, is often referred to as New York State to distinguish it from New York City, the state's most populous city and its economic hub.
With an estimated population of nearly 8.5 million in 2014, New York City is the most populous city in the United States and the premier gateway for legal immigration to the United States. The New York City Metropolitan Area is one of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world. New York City is a global city, exerting a significant impact upon commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education, and entertainment, its fast pace defining the term New York minute. The home of the United Nations Headquarters, New York City is an important center for international diplomacy and has been described as the cultural and financial capital of the world, as well as the world's most economically powerful city. New York City makes up over 40% of the population of New York State. Two-thirds of the state's population lives in the New York City Metropolitan Area, and nearly 40% live on Long Island. Both the state and New York City were named for the 17th century Duke of York, future King James II of England. The next four most populous cities in the state are Buffalo, Rochester, Yonkers, and Syracuse, while the state capital is Albany.

It has been a year since the US reopened its embassy in Cuba's capital, Havana.

People & Power investigates the recent economic changes and the effect of property ownership on Cuba's communist legacy. Half a century ago, when Fidel Castro's revolutionary forces entered the Cuban capital Havana, the new leader pledged to improve the lives of the poor by putting an end to capitalist excess. One of the revolutionary government's key measures was the elimination of the property market as a lucrative business. Housing was declared a human right, private rental was abolished and most Cubans were given free properties to live in. But with a US embargo declared on the revolutionary island and its finances dependent on an inefficient state-driven economy, the government ran out of money and vast parts of Havana fell into decline. In a radical move, Raul Castro opened up ...

The most visible change in Havana since Cuba and the United States restored diplomatic relations is the number of Americans who have come to see the island for themselves. 160 thousand U.S. residents flew to Cuba in 2015. That's an 80 percent jump from the year before. There’s been a mix of politicians, corporate executives, artists and athletes all coming to build bridges and look for business opportunities. But mostly it’s the just plain curious. For the first time in more than 50 years an American cruise ship sailed from Miami to Havana. On May 1st the Adonia stopped in Havana carrying over 700 passengers. And as Correspondent Michael Voss reports, an increasing numbers of U.S. tourists are starting to travel outside of the capital as well. To places like the valley of Vinales – a...
Business leaders from around the globe were showcasing their products at the Havana International Fair, which started on Sunday in the Cuban capital. Foreign investment is the main theme of this year's expo, which runs from November 2 to 8. The fair attracts participants from more than 60 countries. Cuba has been working hard to encourage foreign capital investment to help boost its economy. Fernando Xue, from the Chinese car company Geely International Corporation, said that Cuba was now a safe place to invest. "That is why we need more information and clear policies to (be able to) invest here," he said. The country has already begun to modernise Mariel port to attract industries such as biotech, renewable energy and telecommunications. Last year, Cuba's gross domestic product (...

The improvement of relations between the U.S. and Cuba will continue to move forward even though the process toward normalization will move slowly. Mark Entwistle, founding partner of Acasta Capital and former Canadian Ambassador to Cuba, believes Cuba will be moved off the State Department's list of countries that support terror. He also believes that the push toward improved relations with Cuba will not end even after President Obama leaves office. As American businesses consider investing in Cuba, they must prepare for dealing with potential corruption in the country, particularly theft.

(30 Oct 2017) Cuba has received two billion US dollars of foreign investments so far this year, the island's Minister of Commence said Monday. Rodrigo Malmierca said such a figure is a sign that despite the US' attempts to isolate the island nation, Havana continues to be of growing interest to foreign investors. Malmierca inaugurated the 35th International Fair in Havana, Cuba's most important business forum, and said foreign investments have reached the energy, tourism and mining sectors. The Cuban government has said it needs some 2.5 billion US dollars of foreign investments annually to develop its model, which faces liquidity difficulties, high import prices and a crisis facing its main trading partner, Venezuela. This year's fair, which attracted 3,700 businesses from 70 coun...

The Republic of Cuba is an island country in the Caribbean. It consists of the island of Cuba, the Isla de la Juventud, and several archipelagos. Havana is the largest city in Cuba and the country's capital. Santiago de Cuba is the second largest city. Cuba is home to over 11 million people and is the most populous insular nation in the Caribbean. Its people, culture, and customs draw from diverse sources, including the aboriginal Taíno and Ciboney peoples; the period of Spanish colonialism; the introduction of African slaves; and its proximity to the United States.

Spanish/Nat In the Cuban capital, Havana, all housing is state-owned. So, if a Habanero wants to move house, they have to swap homes with someone else. The exchanges take place in a square in Havana. More than 2.2 (m) million people live in Cuba's capital, Havana. And the population of the city is growing. Last year, the government estimated 27-thousand people moved to Havana. Living conditions in the city are poor, and have deteriorated since Cuba lost its financial support from the former Soviet Union. The housing in the city is all state-owned. So if Habaneros want to move to a new house, they have to swap their home for someone else's. The practice is called 'permutando' - house-swapping.

Strong winds and waves flooded parts of Havana's iconic Malecon sea wall on Monday (January 23) as Cuba's Caribbean Sea crashed into the coastline. According to Cuba's Meteorological Institute, the freak waves started in the afternoon and are expected to last until Tuesday (January 24). The strong waves and winds are coming from South Carolina where a tropical low has battered that region of the United States. Winds in Cuba have been estimated at up to 60 km (37 miles) an hour. According to local media, the encroaching Caribbean Sea has also reached homes along Havana's coastline. No evacuation orders have been issued to residents or tourists.

https://www.expedia.com/explore/caribbean/cuba.d44 It’s only 93 miles from Florida, and just 13 from the Bahamas, but like the smoke that coils from its legendary cigars, The Republic of Cuba exists in a time and space all its own. Few cities can stir the imagination like Cuba’s capital, Havana, a city preserved by forts, a five-mile seawall, and an imposed embargo, which held back the excesses of the 20th century for over 50 years. Havana’s lure can be hard to resist, but Cuba offers so much more beyond the seductive lights of its capital. In Cuba, a long sandy beach is never far away. Just 12 miles from Havana’s downtown, the Eastern Beaches unroll toward the town of Matanzas, the birthplace of the rumba, and Cárdenas, where the Cuban Flag flew for the very first time.

I visited Cuba in July 2016 and after nearly 3 weeks touring the island I made up a list of information I wish I had before my holiday.

Jonny here, right now I'm in Havana, and in this short film I'm going to explain a little about tourism in Cuba. Most cultural holidays to Cuba will start in Havana, a city of magnificent decaying colonial architecture, monuments and parks, museums and galleries, music and bars and large old American cars. But the first thing you'll probably notice wandering around Havana is the near total lack of consumerism. Cuba is still a communist country with no commercial influence from America, and as such there's almost no evidence at all of the large multinationals we're used to in the West; you won't find any Starbucks or McDonalds here. There are no billboards advertising Coca Cola, there are no glass fronted shopping malls. Which is actually really quite refreshing. The whole city gives you ...

People & Power investigates the recent economic changes and the effect of property ownership on Cuba's communist legacy. Half a century ago, when Fidel Castro's revolutionary forces entered the Cuban capital Havana, the new leader pledged to improve the lives of the poor by putting an end to capitalist excess. One of the revolutionary government's key measures was the elimination of the property market as a lucrative business. Housing was declared a human right, private rental was abolished and most Cubans were given free properties to live in. But with a US embargo declared on the revolutionary island and its finances dependent on an inefficient state-driven economy, the government ran out of money and vast parts of Havana fell into decline. In a radical move, Raul Castro opened up ...
▶ http://ow.ly/dkSf306OoHh Après un demi-siècle de rupture, les relations diplomatiques reprennent entre La Havane et Washington, anciens ennemis du temps de la guerre froide. Si cette ouverture est synonyme de rentrée d'argent pour cet Etat des Grandes Antilles, destination touristique prisée, elle ne profite qu'à une minorité de la population. Le quotidien des Cubains est toujours aussi difficile. Le salaire moyen s'élève à 15 dollars par mois. Soumis au rationnement, ils ont juste de quoi s'acheter les denrées alimentaires de base. La combine et la débrouille sont indispensables pour survivre, comme en témoigne Rosemary, une institutrice. La police est omniprésente, la surveillance permanente. Quant à la liberté d'expression et les droits de l'homme, ils ne sont pas à l'ordre du jou...

To be clear, Cuba is no longer the cold war proxy, challenging socio-political stability, but rather the country has emerged as a growing threat as a location for foreign direct investment and development inputs from the outside world. The unveiling of a mega-port in Mariel -- that famous hub for the export of Cubans to the United States -- should serve notice to Jamaica, The Bahamas and the Dominican Republic that in their midst is a trans-shipment hub that may one day soon directly compete with them for one of the few industries in which they have an advantage, which is the movement of goods to and from the US. For Jamaica, Cuba's Mariel may make it that much more difficult to find the financing and shipping partners necessary for that country to position itself as a major hub, though P...
The news of the Pope going to visit Cuba prompted me to tidy up my photos for sharing via this platform. It's also like revisiting it when it was suffering the tight grip of the unwarranted American trade embargo and sanctions. I wonder why I didn't take any photos of the street where the hawkers' stalls or baskets were almost empty. Perhaps I couldn't bring myself to capture those sad images. My diary entries for the trip have yet to be found. What can I remember then? 1. It took quite a while to get used to the smell in the air (like that of petrol) while walking in the neighbourhood of the elegant hotel I stayed in. 2. It cost a lot to call IDD in my hotel. One morning when the service wasn't available there, I had to try my luck in one nearby. There the reception staff tried in vain ...
Peru is the number one producer of counterfeit US dollars in the world. In 2015, just over 16 million forged bills seized in the US were of Peruvian origin, according to the US Secret Service. Millions of counterfeit euros and Peruvian soles have also been seized by police in Peru. The forged dollars are finished by hand, giving them an exceptional quality which has earned the country its top spot as leader of this illicit global trade. And for the criminal gangs counterfeit money is cheaper to produce than cocaine. Fernando Lucena goes undercover for VICE News to expose the illegal trade in counterfeit money and gets rare access to the criminal forgers who show us how these bills are made.
