In this experience, students explore significant events in the history of Cuba, from independence from Spain in 1898 through current times. Next, they focus on the Communist Revolution and its connection to the Soviet Union. Finally, they evaluate the fall of the Soviet Union and its impact on the Cuban economy. Note that this experience reflects events through fall 2016. If any significant events have occurred that impact the content, point out to students that the relationship between Cuba and the United States is a current affair, not frozen “history.” Objectives:Overview
