Since its revolution in 1959, led by Fidel Castro, Cuba has found itself at odds with the United States. Just 90 miles off its coastline, the American government has positioned the island Caribbean nation as an existential threat to freedom and democracy in the Western Hemisphere.
Throughout the decades, the United States has implemented economic sanctions, a state-sponsored invasion, engaged in biological and psychological warfare, labeled Cuba a "state sponsor of terrorism," and attacked civilians all to undermine and encourage an overthrow of the Cuban government.
