Overall, there are different parts of Cuba that has allowed it to flourish in ways profitable from not only an economic standpoint but also from the perspective of the citizens. From the diverse culture of the country to the average climate conditions, Cuba seems like a location that would be pleasant for tourists yet able to sustain an adequate amount of life. Based on the research, a day in the life of the Cubans would be filled with much hard work, a meal that includes the staple of rice and joyous noises from the music that originated from themselves by being musically inclined. This culture is one that encompasses many parts in order to function though it seems, but it does hold a family oriented structure that allows for a close niche in the community. Despite having to enter many wars and work hard in order to gain complete independence, the Cuban culture has become well oriented and has much stability. Each culture has downfalls and must work through them in order to gain a level of self-discipline, and Cuba is a firm example of how they initially survived in caves and had only wood and stone to create artifacts.

However, Cuba has a long and complicated past of invasion and suffering, booming economic industry, and revolution. There exist scant details on Cuba’s past before the arrival of Christopher Columbus and his men in the New World on 28 October 1492. What historians do know is that there were three main indigenous native tribes that inhabited the island: the Taíno, Guanajatabey, and Siboney peoples. According to Richard Gott’s book Cuba: A New History, “Columbus gave a friendly account of Cuba in his journal, describing villages of large houses ‘looking like tents in a camp, without regular streets but one here and another there. Within they were clean and well-swept, with well-made furniture. All were of palm branches, beautifully constructed’” (13). It was not until the year 1511 that conquistador Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar established the first permanent settlement in Cuba – Baracoa. Any Indian resistance was quashed and the leaders burnt at the stake. The Spanish colonial society in Cuba grew slowly with agriculture being the main economic driver; sugarcane and tobacco started to be harvested in limited amounts. Mr. Gott states that “The first large-scale sugar plantations – with three sugar mills under construction in the area around Matanzas – were established in Cuba in 1576 … The foundations of a new economy had been laid, but progress remained slow” (37-38).
