- Cuba: The Untold Story 2014
An enduring myth is that 1950's Cuba was a socially and economically backward country whose development was jump-started by the Castro government. In fact, according to readily-available historical data, Cuba was an advanced country in 1958, certainly by Latin American standards and by world standards. Visuals do not lie. See the nation Castro destroyed.

More modern than now. It's crazy how time was frozen in Cuba
@@ryaaaaanwhat4072 modern and repressive right wing murderous government of Batista
Cuban revolution has to be the dumbest revolution ever
Yeah I loved the fascist dictatorship it was so much better when the US controlled everything and the gap between the rich and the poor was bigger than your mom's fat
@@mechamedeisa9622 As we can see they are doing very well under Communism
@@Battle.Tomatoah yes. That’s definitely a worthy metric of measurement.
They’re clearly doing better now doofus. People actually have jobs(40%) of the population isn’t unemployed, their isn’t rampant slavery and devastating poverty
It is basically three men stole the island at gun point did whatever they wanted to and called it a revolution now the entire island is starving to to death because the 3 mens family own everything sad
@@ofimportance5458I’ve been personally on Cuba in non-tourist areas, and although they have jobs, they can only afford the bare minimum, as an example, a second soap bar out of the Government’s rations is just unaffordable by them, many having to use the News paper as toilet paper.
so here‘s the strange part, Batista’s cuba was so great,than why the Cubans will follow castro and overthrow him?
Because Castro promised a democracy. A government representative of the people by the people. You can see it in a black and white film still found on youtube where a young Castro is speaking in english as he is trying to raise money and support from the people in US prior to the revolution. Now we know it was all a lie. And yes, Batista was a thug. After the Cuban middle class helped Castro to triumph, he immediately broke relations with the US and allied himself with the communist Soviet Union, confiscated all private business, and the rest is history, so to speak. Everyone is equally miserable now. No rich, no middle class , all equally starving. The very basic truth of communism is that everything is a lie.
He said
I just want to get rid of batista
I will have free elections in 6 months
Many men who supported him at first later on turned in him and were deleted
@@Eltigrecubanothere are rich people there
The high ranking commie thugs
Live lavishly
Its not that it was so great. There was a lot of corruption and a distrust for the party in power who took power through force. But then story takes a turn, and the millions that followed Castro, have had nothing to show for it. In fact, it's been considerably worse ever since. They did all Batista did, and then some.
@@rivares because Batista murdered 20,000 poor people
Images speak more than words.
Carlos Tamajon if communist will do the same about North Korea, you will believe too?
It's just video, author of which want you to believe about "Great Cuba of Batista"
@@danielk934 It's not only the video... Is the history books, the quotes, the news, the people.
True! Batista was corrupted. True! The life in the mountains was no easy. But listen. My grandfather saw the whole thing and he told me that the unjust killing and emprisoning were not worth the sh*t we are living today!
@@Sheerspeechcraft Imagine that you are in universities. You doing your studies like any young man your age.The only difference you and a group of friends don't think that what the gov. is doing it's ok so you decide to speak out. The day after you magically happened to have become a criminal and taken to prison with the killers and the psychopaths only for speaking your mind.
That's what happened to the little few that have tried to seek justice.
Other than that the Batista Cuba was in a neutral position. If Cuba stayed like that the cold war would have been way less important than it is today since the Russians would have never had anywhere near the US to place their nuclear canons. The embargo also wouldn't have happened since Cuba wouldn't be a threat to the US so the Special PIreaod would have never happened either. If any of those happened Cuba's industrial evolution would have continued growing which means that Cuba would most likely still have one of the best economics situations in the Americas and don't even get me started on what would have happened if we didn't have the exterior debt.
@@anav.r.2532 *bootlicking sounds*
That's all I hear from you
@@Sheerspeechcraft Ofcouse that's all you can hear since you are not listening you are reading wish means that your brain must have a problem. Other than that, if seeing the truth face to face does not make you believe what I said, even if all of those events are true and were all caused by a chain reaction called Castro's revolution, then I dare you to go to Cuba and live there. YOU WON'T LAST A WEEK.
Per capita income, inflation rate and the size of your "middle class" doesn't mean shit when 40% of your people are unemployed and of course the owners of the economy use immigrant labor instead of hiring actual Cubans.
Sounds like America but worse yet we don’t go overthrowing our nation every half a century
Derek Zoo & Jamie Hume, who told you that Cubans "were angry"? The nation that gave the world great music like Rumba, Cha-cha-cha, Conga, Mambo, Boleros, etc., angry? Cubans, at that time, were very happy, sociable and artsy and musical happy people and had one of the highest standards of living and per Capita income in the world. However, Cubans were growing impatient with Batista, politically, and wanted a change but much of the population also liked Batista, because although he was authoritarian did, economically, great things for Cuba and also many positive social improvements but was he authoritarian? Yes, and increasingly Cubans wanted a change which Castro promised and not only lied when he said there would be free elections but instead stayed in power all his life but also lied when asked if he was a communist and said he was not to only find out later that he wanted to be a marxist, Leninist communist dictator for life and there would be no elections. Please, you have been indoctrinated by propaganda from the Cuban Communist Party and I suppose your socialist professors in the U.S.
ARMANDO VILLADARES say his name then read his book
Viva revolocion🇨🇺😍
Way better believe it or not because I was born there and the condition s there where shitty
Cobracomander diaz Born before or after the revolution ?
Sebastian Tirado After the Revolution everything went to the shit!
An American Hero lol no it didn't
@@Sheerspeechcraft ask a real Cuban you’re so brainwashed. Bet you live in a free country too
@@Sheerspeechcraft i love when mfs who never lived in Cuba tell people that it didn’t go to shit. 😂😂😂
So why were Cubans so angry? Something had to be very wrong?
DoppelgangerPlayer beautiful lie
They were under a fascist dictatorship, and the majority were very poor (1/3 of the population being middle class, which is probably a far poorer class than we would consider middle, is quite a small percentage)
@@infinitasalo472 so it basically went from bad to bad
It’s is called brainwash. In the USA allowed the BLM movement to kept doing their protest and burning cities they could leave the USA in caos also .. humans are so easy to condition and manipulate with victimization.. you can make them believe they live in hell when they live in paradise. And all that just for a vote or political power
@@infinitasalo472 Poor but not shoeless poor. And the poor could read and were better educated than the U.S. poor. My grandmother knew Alexandre Dumas novels by heart.
Repels haitians
😂
So sad.
It was a conviction, not a revolution.
Crazy people are unable to reconcile with History. It’s far more complex and confusing. Batista was not some cartoon villain fascist, and things were improving under his reign though it was absolutely dictatorial.
It’s worth noting that the US backed both Batista and Castro’s rises to power, the problem with Castro is he was a masterful manipulator who immediately went to wipe out any competing political and military oppositions.
Politics are more complicated than the good guys vs the bad guys. And there are genuine achievements of Castro’s Cuba. The ability to motivate a national movement to increase literacy is really interesting (notably, Cuban literacy was already substantial compared to other countries plagued with routine dictatorship). But the problem is that Cuba’s people are held back by their Communist Party, which crushes any political opposition at every level and encourages a police state.
People kvetch about the Embargo but lifting it would only make Cuba a second Communist China. It’s a bold assumption that a dictatorship cannot sustain itself with a well fed population. Ultimately it will take a Communist with a good heart who doesn’t want to see his nation be ruled against its choice.
It was a reincarnation of the CSA
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.
Your twisted and embellished facts are propaganda from the Cuban Communist Party. Go down to Cuba today, the images in this video will appear to you to have come from another world. Today you will film nothing more than misery, crumbling buildings, stagnation, ignorance and a living dictatorship; the oldest one in the modern world. Now, why don't you tell us how Castro made Cuba better than what it was, please go ahead, I can't wait to hear it! Please.
Well said senor.
Cuba but its white cleansed:
