Cuban revolution and economic blockade
Introduction.
The present work aims to demonstrate the situation of the Cuban economy after the implementation of commercial blockade in the United States, because it is the most extensive economic siege recorded in the world, covering six decades of economic sanctions that have not allowed the commercial developmentWith third parties, here the question arises? To answer we will carry out an investigation by analyzing the factors that intervened.
The document "Cuba vs. Blocking" is a source of secondary origin prepared by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Republic of Cuba, its main objective is to demonstrate the economic situation of Cuba after the economic blockade in the country, emphasizing resolution 72/4of the United Nations General Assembly "need to put an end to the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States against Cuba" (Cuba vs. block, 2018).
As a value of this source, it is found that it was written by the Cuba Foreign Relations Institution which demonstrates in turn that it denotes a great interest in reflecting the hard situation in the country, it also contributes with specific quantitative and qualitative data of the specific qualitative ones of theconditions in the different fields of the country’s economy. As limitations, it is found that the document when developed by the mystery of Cuba The information is certainly biased by its situation of relevance and integration into the Cuban government, causing the information provided to be limited.
Developing.
The following document is a monograph work entitled Causes and consequences of the economic blockade imposed on Cuba by the United States is a secondary source prepared by two students of the American University of Nicaragua, Roberto Leal del Carmen and Vanessa Reyes Suarez, aimed to expose theBackground of the Cuba Revolution that led the country to succumb to the economic embargo, and also reflect the effects and consequences of economic blockade in economic, political, and social fields.
As a value of this source, it is found that the document was written by Nicaraguan students, which demonstrates the effort in the investigation and in this way the document does not contain biases, it also has the limitation of not finding quantitative information, but it does useful qualitative information for useful forperform a relevant analysis of Cuba’s social, economic and political situation, but not to perform a financial analysis of the country in terms of the loss of assets.
Economic, economic, political, social and cultural embargo, is an international prohibition that denies marketing or negotiation with a certain country. This in turn was a retaliation taken by the United States government to the responses of the Cuban people that in 1959 ended the strenuous battles of the Cuban revolution.
It all started on July 26, 1953, with an assault on the Moncada barracks in Santiago de Cuba, to overthrow the dictatorship, but it did not turn out as planned since due to M-26* Batista wasolated and won the presidency electionsIn 1954, thus meaning exile for Fidel Castro. After the exile of Castro, in Mexico, I plan an expedition on yach.
In 1957 Fidel Castro achieved some proximity to the fall of Batistsame year, without knowing that on October 19, 1960, the United States would sign the condemnation of Cuba, to an economic embargo that will currently turn 60 years of long reprisals to the Cuban economy. "This implied, in practice, the confiscation by the Government, of private goods and capitals" (Leal del Carmen & Reyes Suarez, 2002, p. 23)
However, the economic blockade did not mean the end of the measures taken by the United States, which was coming behind them, it would seriously affect the Cuban settlers who for not wanting to have a dictatorship in their possession ended up paying a very high price that violentMany of the human rights. Unfortunately this fact affects many of the fields of the economy of Cuba, which from the beginning was the purpose of the implementation of the economic embargo.
In the first place, we found the health area the commercial blockade affected significantly, since it made it impossible to be able to make the acquisition of without numbers of materials, which were undoubtedly vitally important in this field, making harder the benefit ofThis service to the Cuban people. "Due to blocking regulations, they could not sell any medication to Cuba". (Cuba vs blocking, 2018, p. 16).
Secondly, it can be said that in the field of education its affectation was quite abrupt since, as in other fields, it was difficult to acquire tools for research in its different areas of study, such as computers, reagents;and having restricted Internet access makes its development impossible for fullness.
To its exception in 2016 during the Barack Obama government, a small gap known as the thaw that facilitated the entry of Google the Internet giant to the island with Wi -Fi and Broadband for Cuban settlers, allowing communication and communication andComputer science will be developed more amplitudely on the island.
"The president of the United States described him as necessary for Cuba between economically in the 21st century and for Cubans to have more voice". This included the investment of foreign companies to the Cuban economy, for example, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide becoming the first American company to strengthen Lasos with the Cuban island, there are also the companies AAD Trading GmbH, P.A.S.I pumpen and armature service international gmbh, Sartorius a.G., Belonging Germany operating in Cuba.
Thirdly, we have one of the factors with the most losses recorded by the economic embargo that is the area of foreign trade since by the nature of the United States block the United States did not allow any country to market with Cuba and vice versa which lets the monetary resourceIt will circulate only within the country and does not allow the entry of more active to the country “the affectation caused by the blockade to the sphere of foreign trade during the period [April-2017, March-2018] amounts to 3,343 million 400 thousand dollars”(Cuba vs blocking, 2018, p. 29). In origin with the losses of foreign trade, the problems are added with the banking systems of Cuba. Financial problems are recorded in 128 foreign banks with an loss of ancestry of 538 million 300 thousand dollars.
Subsequently, the American economic blockade, which also affects the tourism industry in Cuba, this factor is a revenue generator to the Cuban people but the measures of the United States by prohibiting other countries from negotiating with Cuba does not allow tourismIt develops in the nation implying that the flights of the air ships are not allowed to make flights to Cuba for any type of passengers.
Tourism trips are strictly prohibited, they are only allowed to travel when their reasons are family visits, official government matters, journalistic activity, professional meetings or research, religious activities, sports and public events, support for the Cuban people, humanitarian projects, research, research,Informative materials, authorized export activities, non -immigrant Cuban citizen, which has reduced a significant number of tourist losses of 65 thousand 040 visitors that equals losses greater than 60 million 143 thousand dollars, and with an ancestry in transport lossesof 101 million 550 thousand dollars, affecting commercial, financial and tourist views.
At present, the US government has put into force the Helms-Burton law, or law of Cuban freedom and democratic solidarity, whose function is to strengthen the American embargo against the Cuban government, seeking to expand extraterritorially, beyond the borders of statesUnited, having three firm objectives "the strengthening of the embargo against the government of Cuba, the support for a democratic transition on the island and the protection of the property rights of US citizens there" (BBC News Mundo, 2019)
After the economic blockade had been implemented, it suffered several effects because the borders were closed so that it would no longer carry out more commercialization with any country, it produced that the economy was maintained internally causing the unemployment rate to increase, and that in the long runCompanies break and that few remain what left a loss of 933 thousand 678 million dollars on the island of Cuba.
conclusion.
In conclusion, it is worth mentioning that for the Cuban people they have lived affectations that are due to the sixty years of economic blockade being the most unfair sanction that has been applied to any country, reaching a loss of 933 thousand 678 million dollars, currentlyThe United States Government has applied new extraterritorial resurgence standards that unleashes the persecution of Cuban transactions, including in these rules the law of Helms Burton, applied exclusively to make the Cuban economy fall and cause a decline in the population.
The implementation of the Helms-Burton Law had its negative impact on foreign companies, which invested in Cuba, during the economic or thawing rise that occurred in the period of presidency of Barack Obama, in which American companies are included. In the field of health, medical supplies are scarce, so their price increases and that produces discomfort in patients by not being able to treat their disease, in the same way for education because it also has to face limits imposed by blockade.
This research work is born from personal curiosity to have knowledge in the issue of Foreign Relations of Cuba and its famous reprisal known as economic embargo. Because this was marked in history as the most cruel and long punishment in history applied to any country.
