Profile summary of Cuba

Cuba is an island nation located in the Caribbean Sea, just south of the United States. It has a rich history, including being a Spanish colony, and has undergone significant political and economic changes over the course of its existence.

For much of the 20th century, Cuba was ruled by Fidel Castro, who took power in a revolution in 1959. Under Castro, Cuba adopted a communist form of government and formed close ties with the Soviet Union. The country faced economic difficulties and a trade embargo from the United States, which further isolated it from the rest of the world.

In recent years, Cuba has undergone some economic and political reforms, and relations with the United States have improved somewhat. However, the country still faces significant challenges, including a struggling economy, a lack of political freedom, and a lack of access to modern technology.
