cuban mile

The special period of Cuba is best explained as the period of struggle. Many Cuban dissatisfactions let them migrate to the USA on a ship to the coast of Florida. People in Cuba have different views on the reasons for exile and exit and leaving Cuba. I am seeing Alejandro Hernández Diaz's book "Cuba Miles" and the movie "Guantana" to enter and exit Cuba culture, exile tour and Cuba for a special period. Several different views behind the motive.

Origin: After participating in the Cuban independence war of 1898, Guantanamo, the 45 square mile (117 kilometers) territory of Cuba, was occupied by the United States. Later, the United States established a naval base on land and signed the treaty in 1934. The decision between President Fulgencio Batista of Cuba and the United States confirmed that the lease can not be terminated without the consent of both parties. After the Cuban revolution in 1959, Mr. Fidel Castro called for the recovery of the land, but President Dwight Eisenhower rejected this controversy and exacerbated the tension already existing between the two countries. Since the United States began a war with terrorism in 2001, the base has been used as a detention center. Its use and procedures are widely criticized by Cuba, the United Nations, and human rights organizations.

President Kennedy inherited the plan set by the Eisenhower administration, it plans to invade Cuba to overthrow Fidel Castro. 1,400 rebellious Cubans who landed at Pigbay will encounter US military training between local Cubans and Cuban armies. And they will stand up to beat Communist Fidel Castro. Unfortunately, things did not progress as planned; the troops did not receive support from local Cubans, but were heavily bombarded and fired by the Cuban Air Force. The rebel army who was not killed was rounded up and imprisoned. The mission failed and responsibility for failure was attributed to Kennedy.

After the Cuban revolution, many Cubans fled to South Florida. Key West has traditionally had a strong connection with the nearest 90 - mile waters, and many Cubans settled there. The key still attracts Cubans to leave their hometown, and the story of 'scorpion' landing is not uncommon. In 1982, US Border Patrol set obstacles and checkpoints on US Highway 1, prevented northbound traffic to Florida's outback, looked for vehicles with illegal drugs and undocumented personnel. Key West City Council has repeatedly complained about obstacles. This is a great inconvenience for travelers and hurts the key tourism industry.
