History Of The Cuban Libre

Miami Florida has the biggest Latin population than any other city in the United States. The majority of Latin's being of Cuban descent. Since the Cuban revolution there have been constant waves of immigrating Cubans to Miami. The result has been a Cuban American society that has created culture diversity within.

In the Treaty of Paris of 1898, Spain relinquished all sovereignty over Cuba. For a time, the policy of the United States toward Cuba was somewhat ambivalent. The Teller Amendment at the beginning of the Spanish-American War had pledged the restoration of Cuba to the Cubans. However, at the same time the United States was determined that it would not be placed after the war with Spain in a worse position in regard to its vital interests in Cuba than it had been when Cuba was a Spanish possession.

My parents, Miguel and Mabel Aguilar, came here in 1997 from Cuba. I was born in New Jersey on July 27th, 2000 and shortly moved to New York three years after. Growing up I had a blend of the “American Dream” and my cuban background and culture. Cubans are super passionate about their roots, with their celebrations including an abundance of dancing, and cuban food, encompassing rice, beans, and roasted pig. I have come to learn that special occasions are always held with a pig roast. Although I lived in America, the cuban culture always followed me because of my parents love for it. Because my parents had such a passion for cuban culture, it was passed down to me. I am extremely grateful that I had and have such a cultural life. The cuban

After watching Cuba Libre, The Forgotten Revolution was particularly interesting because it discusses events and people fundamental to the eventual overthrow of Batista that are not once mentioned by the Netflix documentary series. Frank País, for example, helped lead the Cuban underground rebellion in Santiago de Cuba, where he was well regarded for his teaching experience, his prolific writing, and his willingness to sacrifice his own wants and needs for the good of the cause. In fact, rather than focusing on establishing his own revolutionary force, he subverted himself to Fidel Castro when Castro was in the Sierra Maestra mountains. He sent men, supplies, and vaccines to Castro and it is impossible to deny the important role País played

Enamored by the promises of the Americas and the New World, the European powers established settlements in unknown lands, transplanting their cultures and beliefs with the hopes of securing precious resources and further expanding their empires. With colonization often comes the displacement of a native people as well the utilization of slave populations to provide manual labor and domestic servitude. The interaction between these groups, some native, most implanted, effected new, uniquely blended cultures— a process of transculturation. Cuba (colonized by the Spanish in the early 16th century) became the birthplace

Where does Coca-Cola get its name? Why was it created? In 1886, the Georgia pharmacist, John Pemberton, designed Coca-Cola as a headache remedy and a stimulant.

After several years of being suppressed by Spain, in 1895, Cubans began their struggle for independence, rebelling against Spain’s colonial government by forming groups of revolutionaries. This attracted the attention of Americans “because of the economic and political instability that it produced in a region within such close geographical proximity to the United States” (history.state.gov). At this point in time, nations throughout the world were acquiring territories and gaining domain over other countries, and Americans feared that if the United States did not start establishing colonies overseas, they would take the risk of being overpowered. The Cuban revolt highly concerned the then US President William McKinley, and there was no doubt

The principal objective then was to assemble women to take an active role towards the improvement of Cuba, the goal to advance as a communist state. Cuban revolutionaries accepted Cuba’s 1940 Cuban Constitution, as a result revolutionaries sought out to see that the policies were practiced correctly. The constitution had no room for discrimination and offered work paying no attention to either age or sex.

The Cuban Revolution took place over a six-year span from 1953 to 1959. The series of armed rebellions ultimately resulted in the overthrow of the US- backed Cuban government and ushered in a new era of Communist rule.

John Stith Pemberton, a pharmacist and “cash-strapped morphine addict,” created Coca-Cola in 1886. He used a French wine called Vin Mariani as his product to replicate. Coca-Cola was different because it was water-based, not wine-based, and included kola nut, caffeine, coca leaf extract, and sugar. It was originally sold as a medicine, a “brain tonic” that “Cures Morphine and Opium Habits and Desire for Intoxicants.” Later broke and ill from his stomach problems and morphine addiction, Pemberton sold the patent to Coca-Cola to Asa Candler, who later officially created The Coca-Cola Company.

In 1969 Bill Backer, the creative director for Coca-Cola, was meeting with two song writers when the plan detoured into Shannon Airport, Ireland, because of the London Fog. Angry passengers were put up over night. In the restaurant of the hotel Backer witnessed the same passengers sharing stories and laughing over bottles of Coca-Cola. Backer wrote later in his book The Care and Feeding of Ideas (New York: Times Books/Random House, 1993), In that moment . . . [I] began to see a bottle of Coca-Cola as more than a drink. . . .
