Black Sheep and Bad Apples

Episode 43: A Brief History of Cuba and Guantanamo Bay


Listen Later

The guys get together to sort-of continue from out last episode. Tonight we're covering a brief history of Cuba and the various factors that came into their being a sovereign island-nation and how that sovereignty changed over the years.

A part of my exploration into Cuba has to do with a few questions I've had, such as; How did the US come to own a part of Cuba, our on-again-off-again enemy? What's the terms for the indefinite ownership of Guantanamo Bay? Why is Cuba pissed about the US not being willing to negotiate the "at-will" clause of their agreement?

Also, what happens at Guantanamo Bay, and why is it so important? We get together to try to nail down some of these answers.
