The Mormon Church, also known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was founded by Joseph Smith in 1830. Joseph Smith had prophetic visions that inspired led him to build a better society. Many of his beliefs angered a large number of people, such as the idea of communal or shared property and polygamy (the idea that a man can have multiple wives). Initially, Smith had formed a community in New York, but due to disapproval of the Mormon religion, the group was forced to move westward. The Mormons settled in Ohio, then onto Missouri and eventually Illinois. In Illinois, Joseph Smith was murdered by an angry mob and his leadership in the Mormon Church was taken over by Brigham Young in 1844.
After Smith's death, Brigham Young decided that the Mormons should move west to avoid further persecution and form the ideal community that Smith envisioned. In the 1830s and 1840s, America was expanding westward into Oregon Territory and Texas. Utah, however, was still largely unsettled because the terrain was considered harsh and unsuitable for farming. Young led the Mormons to settle around the Great Salt Lake in 1846. This migration was the single largest movement of people in American history. The Mormons made the area flourish with hard work and resilience, by building towns, irrigation systems, industries, and educational institutions.
On January 1, 1959 Fidel Castro and his band of guerillas took over the government of President General Fulgencio Batista. Although the United States supported Castro during his revolution against Batista's regime, it was uneasy over the communist leanings of Castro. In 1960, Castro seized private lands and took over all U.S. owned businesses in Cuba and imposed heavy taxes on American goods. As a result, the United States ended diplomatic ties with Cuba and imposed a trade embargo which made Cuba turn to the Soviet Union instead. The United States made several unsuccessful attempts to overthrow the Cuban government.
