Cuba Travel Guide Includes Free Book: Spanish Phrase Book 350! 350 Easy Spanish Phrases, Learn the Most Common Spanish Phrases Quick and Easy One of the most cited reasons for traveling to Cuba is its tumultuous history; people want to see where world-changing events happened and how they affected people, culture, and economy that has had such an impact on the world today. Thousands of years before Columbus sailed from Spain to find the Indies there were settlers on Cuba, immigrants from other islands in the Caribbean. By the end of the 15th century, the population numbered about 350,000, cultivating crops like tobacco and cotton, maize and sweet potatoes. Cuba was a paradise that provided everything its people needed until Christopher Columbus arrived in the late 1400's and Spain forced the Cubans to submit to Spanish rule, installing a governor in Havana. While struggling to keep up with global competition during their rule of Cuba, the British imported slaves from Africa in the 17th and 18th centuries. During the Haitian Revolution around 1800, Cuba was the destination of thousands of French refugees that fled the slave rebellion in Saint-Domingue, refugees that brought slaves with them along with skills in refining coffee and sugar. Slavery was abolished in Cuba by the end of the 19th century; the Cubans were morally repulsed by the practice of slavery, but the ruling class had compromised because of the profits in the sugar industry. Many different cultures have made their way to Cuba-French, Creole, African, Spanish, British and many others. Religions have clashed, customs have been battled over but Cuba today is a fascinating blend of dozens of races, religions, customs, creeds and beliefs. You will be able to see this when you attend festivals and events throughout Cuba when you visit using the services of authentic Cuba tours. Cuba has been under the thumb of many governments, and it boasts a long and proud history of resistance. When you travel to Cuba, you will see many ancient prisons and sites of executions of martyrs fighting for their country. Not only did the inhabitants have to fight political reigns, but they also had to battle racism, religious persecution and economic oppression by the upper classes that inevitably seized power. After the Spanish-American War in 1898, Cuba, at last, gained its independence in 1902. The country prospered economically but suffered politically through a succession of dictators. In the 20th century, Fulgencio Batista was overthrown in a bloody six-year revolution that ended in the reigning dictator Fidel Castro and his Communist Party of Cuba. Today Fidel's brother Raul is in charge of the island. Order Now! Click the orange button on the top of the page!

(abridged and revised) This reference grammar offers intermediate and advanced students a reason ably comprehensive guide to the morphology and syntax of educated speech and plain prose in Spain and Latin America at the end of the twentieth century. Spanish is the main, usually the sole official language of twenty-one countries,} and it is set fair to overtake English by the year 2000 in numbers 2 of native speakers. This vast geographical and political diversity ensures that Spanish is a good deal less unified than French, German or even English, the latter more or less internationally standardized according to either American or British norms. Until the 1960s, the criteria of internationally correct Spanish were dictated by the Real Academia Espanola, but the prestige of this institution has now sunk so low that its most solemn decrees are hardly taken seriously - witness the fate of the spelling reforms listed in the Nuevas normas de prosodia y ortograjia, which were supposed to come into force in all Spanish-speaking countries in 1959 and, nearly forty years later, are still selectively ignored by publishers and literate persons everywhere. The fact is that in Spanish 'correctness' is nowadays decided, as it is in all living languages, by the consensus of native speakers; but consensus about linguistic usage is obviously difficult to achieve between more than twenty independent, widely scattered and sometimes mutually hostile countries. Peninsular Spanish is itself in flux.
