Cuba is a [[totalitarian]] regime.  People will risk their lives to escape from it.  
   −
Cuba's lone party has been ruled by [[Fidel Castro]] since 1959, when, notably, Castro and [[Che Guevara]] led a revolution to overthrow [[Fulgencio Batista]]. In 1960, Cuba became a [[communist]] nation, and the [[United States]] and Cuba relationship went into turmoil. When Castro came to power he immidiately quelled the severe corruption which was present in the country, including the eviction of sevral American mobsters effectively removing organised crime from the island. Castros new govenment also closed down the gambling industry.

Relations between the United States and Cuba have been shaky at best since the revolution. In 1960, after officially declaring themselves communist, the US began a trade-embargo on Cuba that last to this day. Since coming to power, Cuban leader Fidel Castro has been the victim of over 670 CIA assassination attempts{{fact}} and one American backed invasion ([[The Bay of Pigs]]). This was in an attempt to reinstate the pro-American dictatorial regime of Batista that was previously in charge. (This is similar to the US backing of war criminal [[General Pinochet]] over his democratically elected communist opponent).
