Andy Lai 1/24/12 HIS 146 ESSAY 1 The history of Cuba was first documented with the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1492 which was then colonized by the Spaniards during the 16th century. Since its colonization, Spanish Cuba’s economy had remained stagnant for centuries. The island’s economy comprised of pastoral pursuits and agriculture; the island of Cuba primarily served as a stopping point for the Spanish fleet in transit between Spain and the New World. A series of events that transpired during the 19th century had awakened Cuba’s economy dramatically. What was once just a mere stopping point for the Spanish fleet had now become the major sugar producer in the world during this time.

Today's rum bears little resemblance to the raw and grainy beverage consumed by the renegades and pirates of the Spanish Main. Christopher Columbus brought sugarcane, from which rum is distilled, to the Caribbean on his second voyage to the New World, and in virtually no time it became the regional drink.
