Whew!
A person with a Cuban background who understands. Thanks for a thoughtful, comprehensive explanation.
As I recall, Castro himself wasn't Communist. However, the demands of the emigre Cubans for an embargo necessitated that Cuba turn to the Communist bloc as a market for it's sugar and a source for oil.
So it was the emigres and the blockade upon which they insisted which created the Communist country which has so vexed many Americans.
Thanks again. Well done. 4.0. And if you've done it before I missed it.
