| | | | | History of Cuba: Encyclopedia II - Che Guevara - Congo During their all-night meeting on March 14 - March 15, 1965, Guevara and Castro had agreed that he would personally lead Cuba's first military action in Africa. Some usually reliable sources state that Guevara persuaded Castro to back him in this effort, while other sources of equal reliability maintain that Castro convinced Che to undertake the mission, as the conditions in many places of Latin America were not optimal. Fidel himself has said the latter is true. The Cuban operation was to be carried out in support of the pro-Lumumba, Marxist Simba movement in the former Belgian Congo (later Zaire and currently t ...

After some initial victories, and then defeats, Céspedes named General Thomas Jordan, who had brought a well-equipped force, as head of Cuban army. However, General Jordan's regular tactics, although initially effective, left the families of Cuban rebels far too vulnerable to the "ethnic cleansing" tactics of the ruthless Blas Villate Count of Valmaceda (also spelt Balmaceda). Valeriano Weyler, who would reach notoriety as the "Butcher Weyler" in the 1895-1898 War f ...

| | | | | History of Cuba: Encyclopedia II - United States embargo against Cuba - Embargo A U.S. arms embargo had been in force since armed conflict broke out in Cuba in 1958. In response to the nationalizations and expropriations, the U.S. reduced the Cuban import quota of sugar by 700,000 tons in July 1960; the Soviet Union responded by agreeing to purchase the sugar instead, and further Cuban expropriations followed. A partial economic embargo was imposed by U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower on October 19, 1960, and diplomatic relations were broken on January 3, 1961—two years after Castro's rise to power. The Soviet Union promptly stepped in, offering Cuba "preferential" trade prices, mainly for the ...

Naval forces and a battalion of Marines at Guantanamo Bay, plus the stranglehold on land communications by 1,000 Cuban insurgents, effectively pinned down an army of 7,000 men which might have changed the outcome of the fighting at Santiago. Less than a week after the surrender of Santiago, the base at Guantanamo Bay was used to launch the invasion of Puerto Rico, 500 miles to the east. Thirty-five hundred troops under General Miles sailed from the Bay on July 21. This was the last important event in the Spanish-American War phase of Guantanamo Bay, for on August 12 the war ...
