Cuba – Revolution Before the Revolution
Podcast: History of the Caribbeans | Exploring Resilience and CulturePublished On: Fri Jan 09 2026
Description: This episode traces the long build of pressure that shaped modern Cuba before the moment the world remembers. From the end of Spanish rule to the fall of Batista, the story follows how limited sovereignty, economic control, political violence, and blocked reform created a system that could not release tension peacefully. Independence existed, but it was conditional. Elections existed, but power lived elsewhere. As legal paths narrowed, force replaced trust, and stability became an excuse rather than a solution. This is the history beneath the headline revolution. The one that formed it.
