I think that the U.S. once again step there foot in Cuba to spread are Americanized culture as we once did. The Cuban Embargo This book went more in depth with are government and whether it truly agrees with JFK's decision or is it that we are afraid to change whats been in play for years. The background thought is what are the circumstances of opening trade with a communist country like Cuba. This book shows the changing of are policy with Cuba for the past four decades since the Cuban Revolution. Although the embargo remains in play it hasn't stopped us from still gaining much Cuban influence.
CIA Beach Party: The Bay of Pigs By: Lee Mcginnis [pic] The United States Central Intelligence Agency spent its first two decades dealing with Communist incursions into western spheres of power in the same way: over throwing foreign governments from within. This response was the US golden standard until the CIA decided to try this against the great white whale of Communism in the western hemisphere: Castro’s Cuba. This doomed to fail from the start plan was executed in a series of errors that led several hundred Cuban exiles to slaughter against Cuba’s Military and bring the world to the brink of nuclear Armageddon and signal a falling out of favor of the CIA among American government for the next twenty years until the Soviet
Country Analysis of Brazil After Brazil gained its independence from Portugal in 1822, it struggled to become a stable country. Brazil’s First Constitution in 1824 has presented a hardship for Brazil to attain Democracy. In the 19th century Brazil was politically stable, but in the 20th century, Brazil’s administrations were troubled with several overthrows of their government that caused social turmoil and political strife. The government was run by a civilian government until the military overthrew President Goulart in 1964, this resulted in suspended constitutional guarantees and press censorship was denied. This led to severe problems among the population as poverty rose and economic aid was relinquished causing excessive inflation.
The latter have demonstrated disturbing patterns of open violence and a lack of respect for the rule of law. Should they become entrenched even in limited areas of the country; Haiti will likely find itself hosting an increasing number of international criminal enterprises as hemispheric cartels take advantage of the areas of opportunity. Violence, endemic disorder, and conflict have marked much of Haiti’s 200 year history. There have been 34 changes of government since Haiti won its independence from France in 1804; most of these changes have been violent. Haiti was founded following a long period of slave revolutions and civil wars that lasted from 1791-1804.
Is the United States at War with Cuba? Before the embargo, the United States and Cuba had a tremendous trade relationship. The US purchase millions of pound of sugar from Cuba and they purchase good by the tons. But this all change when Fidel Castro and his rebels began to wage war against the Batista government, who was later forced into exile in 1959. After the Batista government fled the country, Castro and his government aligned with the Soviet Union.
The CIA equipped and trained more then 400 men fight under the command of Colonel Carlos Castillo Armas, and these men were also used for propaganda campaigns. They even created a Voice of Liberation radio station which would inform its listeners how the government is disloyal and can’t be trusted. The operation successfully ended leading Arbenz's to resign from office. The "Ten Years of Spring," is referred to the decade of dramatic social, economic, and political change that had occurred in Guatemala. This question has been asked many times “Why Do We Fight?” I honestly don’t think there is one single answer to this question because every single fight has its own reason and why it has occurred.
Political situation in Haiti By Ketcia Dorante As of now, Haiti is considered as an unstable country by the international community. After the departure of Dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier, in 1986, Haiti has seen different political situation such as military coup d’état and provisional government. In fact, in 2004, unrest all over the country has forced President Aristide to resign and the United Nations sent a United States led multinational force that consisted of over 21,000 troops to restore the legitimate government to provide a safe environment for Haitians. Later in the same year the multinational force has changed into United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTHA). Since I am working for United Nations in Haiti, I would like to understand why Haiti can not be stable, at least politically stable.
The first revolt against Spain occurred in 1809. In 1819, Ecuador joined Venezuela, Colombia, and Panama in a confederacy known as Greater Colombia.When Greater Colombia collapsed in 1830, Ecuador became independent. Although Ecuador was under military rule in the 1970s, the country did not experience the violence and repression unlike the other Latin American military regimes. Democracy lasted for about 30 years; until Peru invaded Ecuador in 1941 and seized a large tract of Ecuadoran territory in the disputed Amazon region. In 1981 and 1995 war broke out again.
This change is slow to occur due to many factors but most importantly its delay is because of lingering restrictive norms, which still plague minority groups to this day. This new form of inequality has been created through the evolution of colonialism into the now state centric view of capitalism. The reformulation of imperialism into capitalism has created further economic and social discrepancies between western nations and undeveloped nations. This new form of global inequality now back by governments allows for legal exploitation of resources in developing nations. This has in part help create the divisions between rural and urban by tagging rural societies as ethnic groups and un-democratic and urban areas as reformed and democratic.
Society itself must be sufficiently developed. If freedom leads to a widely division of labor in a country then the country will struggle with a over growing amount of immigrants. For Americans to have an extent the division of labor is based around the market. Social justice is both a philosophical problem and an important issue in politics, religion and civil society. Most individuals wish to live in a just society, but different political ideologies have different conceptions of what a 'just society' actually is.
