Answer:

Cuba and the United States have a close history that is characterized by conflict.

Explanation:

Cuba is a former colony of the Spanish Crown and it first gained its independence after the Spanish American war in 1898. In the years following the war, Cuba was subject to US military rule, but it gained formal independence in 1902. This however made it so the Cuban economy became dominated by American capital. The number of sugar estates owned by Americans soared so that by 1905 Americans owned nearly 10% of Cuba's total land area. At independence, American companies controlled what little industry there was in Cuba taking 80% of Cuba's ore exports. Americans also owned the sugar refineries and factories where they made cigarettes. This control and close involvement and investment in the Cuban economy grew up until the Cuban Revolution in 1959.

Answer:

A Matter of Color: African Americans Face Discrimination

Explanation:

"While We Do Not Discriminate, We Do Segregate"

African Americans faced continuing discrimination and segregation during World War II. At the same time, a number of developments during the war served to quicken the pace of the struggle for equal rights. The massive migration of African Americans from the rural South to cities in the North and West brought new opportunities and challenges. Jobs in the military and defense industries brought expanded horizons and increased expectations. And, the hypocrisy of America fighting for freedom in other lands while denying it to minorities at home brought new legitimacy and resonance.

National Developments

African American civil rights groups and institutions grew in number and militancy during the war, determined to use the war effort to extract concessions and make gains for the movement. Many African American civil rights leaders vowed not to repeat what they saw as the mistake during World War I of putting aside their grievances for the duration of the war. One outgrowth of this strategy was the "Double V" [Victory] campaign, which aimed to fight racist fascism at home and abroad at the same time: "Defeat Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito," one newspaper exhorted, by "Abolishing Jim Crow." The campaign called on blacks to loyally serve the nation while emphasizing the contradictions between America's professed values and its behavior with respect to racial discrimination.Footnote1
