ANSWER BELOW 1.What advantages would Cuba have if they became independent?
2.Why is Cuba’s location strategic to the area?
3.Who benefited most from this trade relationship?
4.Why did Spain refuse to grant Cuban independence?
(!20 point!)

1.Advantages: There is no bureaucratic organisation that delays everything and thus it is easier to get a government to do something. For example, for America to pass an important law, it could take months of negotiations before the law is either passed or delayed. In Cuba, the law could be passed in an hour. No changes in policy and leadership. In America, a government could spend billions on a given policy, then when the next government comes into power they scrap it and install another billion dollar policy. For example, Trump’s border wall will cost billions to make, then immediately be scrapped when the next Democrat comes into power. Cuba’s government doesn’t have this problem.

2.Although the United States and Cuba have already turned a page on an era defined by the Cold War, the death of Fidel Castro is widely considered a milestone marking a new path forward. This is no longer a policy issue that can be reduced to a conflict between the U.S. and Cuban governments, or to the legacy of the past. It is time to look ahead for the benefit of the people in both countries.

3.U.S. companies have signed agreements to do business with Cuba, including Netflix, Marriott, General Electric, and Verizon. Cuba is Airbnb’s fastest-growing market ever. Several other companies spanning multiple sectors have visited the island. Two U.S. banks now offer credit cards for use. These companies have invested significant time and money into expanding service to Cuba.

4.Cuba was one of only two colonies in Spain's shrinking empire in the Americas.
