History

Answer:

The United States backed Fulgencio Batista regime for a long time, but by 1955 there was growing concern that perhaps a change was needed. When Fidel Castro seized power in 1959 he was invited to visit the United States by then-President Eisenhower. Castro claimed his movement and revolution was Liberal National. However, the nationalization of properties and American companies by the Cuban government was taken as aggression.  

In retaliation, the US declared a commercial embargo on Cuba to try to choke Castro's regime. Then in 1961, Kennedy backed a group of Cuban exiles in a coup against Fidel. The invasion was a sound defeat and Castro decided to look for the help of the USSR.  

Nikita Krushov, the Soviet leader, offered Castro economic aid and protection from the US and in exchange asked about placing Nuclear Missiles in the Island. The USSR had recently found out that the US had Missiles placed in Turkey.  

Castro accepted and officially declared that Cuba was now a communist nation. In 1962 the USSR installed missiles in Cuba. But a spy plane discovered them and tense negotiations ensued. Faced with the prospect of Mutual Assured Destruction, Kennedy and Krushov, agreed to remove the missiles from Cuba and Turkey.  

Castro was left out of the negotiations, which damaged Cuba's relationship with the USSR.

List three<br> reasons that Loyalists sided<br> with Britain
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Loyalists were American colonists who stayed loyal to the British Crown during the American Revolutionary War, often called Tories, Royalists, or King's Men at the time. They were opposed by the "Patriots", who supported the revolution, and called them "persons inimical to the liberties of America".[1] Prominent Loyalists repeatedly assured the British government that many thousands of them would spring to arms and fight for the crown. The British government acted in expectation of that, especially in the southern campaigns in 1780–81. In practice, the number of Loyalists in military service was far lower than expected since Britain could not effectively protect them except in those areas where Britain had military control. The British were often suspicious of them, not knowing whom they could fully trust in such a conflicted situation; they were often looked down upon.[2] Patriots watched suspected Loyalists very closely and would not tolerate any organized Loyalist opposition. Many outspoken or militarily active Loyalists were forced to flee, especially to their stronghold of New York City. William Franklin, the royal governor of New Jersey and son of Patriot leader Benjamin Franklin, became the leader of the Loyalists after his release from a Patriot prison in 1778. He worked to build Loyalist military units to fight in the war, but the number of volunteers was much fewer than London expected.

When their cause was defeated, about 15 percent of the Loyalists (65,000–70,000 people) fled to other parts of the British Empire, to Britain itself, or to British North America (now Canada). The southern Loyalists moved mostly to Florida, which had remained loyal to the Crown, and to British Caribbean possessions, often bringing along their slaves. Northern Loyalists largely migrated to Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. They called themselves United Empire Loyalists. Most were compensated with Canadian land or British cash distributed through formal claims procedures. Loyalists who left the US received £3 million[citation needed] or about 37 percent of their losses from the British government. Loyalists who stayed in the US were generally able to retain their property and become American citizens.[3] Historians have estimated that between 15 and 20 percent of the two million whites in the colonies in 1775 were Loyalists (300,000–400,000).[4]
