My parents got me a World Book Encyclopedia set when I was in 4th grade. I read all the volumes and by the time I got to US History in 12 grade I wrote a four page essay on the imperialistic tendencies the US had in Latin America in the early 20th Century. It was titled... "Talons of the Eagle" The teacher said I didn't have to take the final exam at the end of the school year because of that essay. Thank you encyclopedias!

The Cuban people fought with courage waiting and praying for the US to help them. You do not support the Cuban people if you support the Dictatorship that is the Cuban government.

2:50 "Cuba's communist uprising begins the next year" (1952). This isn't correct. The uprising (The 26th of July Movement) was certainly revolutionary, but was in no way communist in 1952. In fact, Fidel didn't officially declare the communist nature of the Cuban Revolution until 1961. Great video, though!

Really like the video! So much information to delve into but this I think does it all great justice. Off to learn more!

I would add a quick clarification to this video. Fidel Castro's revolution did not declare itself as Communist until late 1960. In fact, they avoided openly associating with the Cuban Communist Party (PSP) at all for fear of attracting American military intervention and to avoid alienating conservative anticommunist Cubans, many of whom were already fighting in the revolutionary army.

This one is discussing foreign policy of the U.S, and it is VERY left-leaning in how they present the facts. By the end of the video, they try to say that lifting the embargo is the best thing for both Cuba and the U.S, and that's the liberal/Democratic argument. Most conservatives believe that we need to keep the embargo in place because if we open up relations with Cuba again, the people of Cuba aren't going to get the money: the Cuban gov't is (because hello, communism). Also, I didn't like that they didn't discuss the human rights violations of the Cuban people, the way the government controls every aspect of the Cuban people's lives, and how they can legally only earn about 40 U.S. dollars a month.

Beautiful video. You should start a series of videos mainly examining US relationship with countries no one though we had involvement with. Countries such as Philippines, Haiti, Brazil, Middle Eastern countries like UAE, etc. Great watch though, and very informative.

I'm pretty sure USA's involvement with the Arab states is household knowledge by now, as well as its involvement with the Philippines during WW2 and beyond. A oneshot about the Philippine American war would be nice though, most Americans I've met only really know about them and >us ca. WW2.

Everyone knows how US and other European Nations terrorized Middle East

So sad to watch this video 6 years later and to see that things didn't improve neither went too well.

Best thing about this video is the ad next to the video is as titled “Hi I bought this Ad so you could enjoy your video in peace” and so I did

The Philippines share a common history with Cuba on how they fought against the colonial power of the Spanish Empire during the last part of the 19th century. In 1898, with the help of the Americans during the Spanish-American war, the Philippines gained its "independence" albeit with the auspices of the Americans. Dealing with "new colonialism" and eventually gaining self-governance are the struggles that the Philippines and Cuba share. It's just interesting to note the paths that different ideologies made for their respective destinies.

The editing of this video is just perfect

I'd love to see an updated video...

In hindsight, this was really optimistic.

Well done.

Your editor should have a high salary.
