Cuba had been a country of interest for Americans for many years prior to the 1890s. Because it was only 90 miles from the tip of Florida, many Americans believed it to be a natural extension of the US. During the 1890s it became a profitable source of trade for American businessmen. After the Cuban revolt against Spain ended the Americans poured investments over $50 million into Cuba and became the biggest purchaser of Cuban sugar. The US removed tariffs making sugar cheap for Americans to buy. Both the US and the Cuban economies benefited and the trade increased to $100 million. The depression of 1893, however, had a negative effect on both economies. <span>

The Nafta trade agreement between The United States, Canada, and Mexico has an important impact on my economic choices, as products that come from these 3 countries will probably have a lower price in comparison to their counterparts who come from other producing countries.
Tax exemptions on investing in certain industries affect my investing decisions and where to place my funds, as, independently of the historical profitability of a certain industry, I know that I will benefit from not having to pay the same level of taxes in comparison to other businesses.
