      No Miami was mini cuba you mean. Back then nobody cared about Miami because I think Miami wasn’t even that metropolitan back then. I don’t even think Florida had that of a high population because it was still swamp and plains. Cuba was more nicknamed “the last Vegas of the Caribbean” because it was so wealthy and had almost everything a man would want.

    This is a very nicely colorized film and Cuba was indeed very beautiful during the period portrayed but 99% of the images are from the 1930’s not the 40’s. To use your reference, take a good look at the cars, the clothes, the ladies hairstyles. Cuba was the largest importer of automobiles, fashion, movies, etc. in Latin America during the first half of the 20th century, the correct era would be reflected in the film clips.

I have been there many times and spoke to the people, even if they are afraid they are telling you they want to leave Cuba, only because it is a prison, nothing else.

    Back in power and receiving financial, military and logistical support from the United States government, Batista suspended the 1940 Constitution and revoked most political liberties, including the right to strike. He then aligned with the wealthiest landowners who owned the largest sugar plantations, and presided over a stagnating economy that widened the gap between rich and poor Cubans. Eventually it reached the point where most of the sugar industry was in U.S. hands, and foreigners owned 70% of the arable land. As such, Batista's repressive government then began to systematically profit from the exploitation of Cuba's commercial interests, by negotiating lucrative relationships both with the American Mafia, who controlled the drug, gambling, and prostitution businesses in Havana, and with large U.S.-based multinational companies who were awarded lucrative contracts. To quell the growing discontent amongst the populace-which was subsequently displayed through frequent student riots and demonstrations-Batista established tighter censorship of the media, while also utilizing his Bureau for the Repression of Communist Activities secret police to carry out wide-scale violence, torture and public executions. These murders mounted in 1957, as socialist ideas became more influential. Many people were killed, with estimates ranging from hundreds to about 20,000 people killed.

    So. In Cuba in the 40:ies, there were some rich people while others starved. Such a society never lasts. The upper class and the US brought this on themselves. Revolutions dont just happen for no reason. Some tourist pictures don"t change that.
    It is extremely unfortunately that Castro only had the Soviet model to turn to for developement. As is it unfortunate that Cuba has to turn to Putin now. But that is all the US fault. Self pity has no friends.
