Fidel Castro began to create some kind of laws that affected the USA private companies because that laws let to the Cuba expropriatethose companies and investments of USA in its territory then USA had to change the economic benefits that gave to Cuba because USA had some preferences for Cuba’s exportations.
In 1962 Russia tried to build a military base with nuclear missile in Cuba, the OTAN gave an ultimatum of 48 hours to take them away, it would almost mean the beginning of a nuclear war, and obviously the implications inthe weak relationship between USA and Cuba were bigger, the embargo was intensified by United States and this caused many poverty in the Caribbean Country.
Implementing Socialism as political and economical system Cuba made new relations with socialists Nations as Russia, they gave to Cuba economic preferences and were the most important sugar’s buyer (sugar is the most important productproduced by Cuba, that’s the reason for Celia Cruz to sing Azucar!!!)
