Because he was the first from Europe to find it. Discovery doesn't mean to be the very first person to find something. It means to find something unexpectedly, which he did. What bothers me is when explorers discover an inhabited island and then rename it and claim it as theirs.
Excuse me, what do you mean Batista was "elected" president in 1940? Didn't he rise to position through a military coup? And impose an extremely oppressive government?
I guess the only thing you need to know about Batista is that he apparently banned the Communist party. That's all you need to know about his significance and why he was removed.

It's a very over simplified historical account. Some 600 years of history since Columbus sailed to the New World, compressed into a 5 minute historical summary. Some of it is inaccurate but is as accurate as you can make it in a 5 minute history lesson.
Fun fact: Fidel Castro is celebrated as an icon of freedom and liberation in Africa. While the US government was supporting the apartheid regime in South Africa that had imprisoned Nelson Mandela...Fidel Castro had sent economic and military support to the revolution which was instrumental in turning the tide. When Nelson Mandela was eventually released from prison and became the new prime minister, he took a trip to visit Castro and pay his respects.
Fun fact: Castro was a murderer who would in-prison people for 10 years just for disagreeing with him. He also practically starved of the whole country. Also, Nelson Mandela was a communist.
Mandela is was another fool did don,t know that Fidel Castro have in Cuba the worse apartheid that soun África with the black population. See how retarder the black América are they don't know the Cuba the racism is institucional agaen to the Black population. Black in Cuba are are forbidden to Walk in the street, they can not enter to the bars, Hotels, restaurant, Beach, and Hospital only for tourist. More 100.000 afrocubans ara slaves cuting marabú in 229 Prison of maximal seguriti, and 5,000 concentration camps, that mean They are the bigger plantation of the black Slave population in the world. See how fool you are black Américan that become the supor the most racist people in the World.

This video is too "Woke" sympathetic to be accurate. USA had no responsibility why a brutal dictator took control of the island.
This started good but they start lying when they say that the tainos were wiped out. It was said and taught because tainos are the rightfully owners of those lands. Stop lying because part of them you see them ont the east side of America. Alexandra Ocasio Cortez. She's a beautiful taina.

How would you call someone who take the power of a country by using militar power? What will you call someone who in over 50 years never allowed democratic elections? A president?
How would you call someone who has established an economic blockade to a whole country violating human rights for over 50 years? What will you call someone who believe are the police of the world imposing their own concept of “freedom” by invading countries? A democratic country?
democracy is socialism given enough time germany ussr all started with election. most history videos on yt been rewrote that why non thems older than 5 years were having a culture revolution rn globalist socialists have taken over everything
Carlos Manuel de Cespedes was not alive by 1930 (you used the wrong graphic). Edit: see comments, it sounds like it's his son that was referenced. And the Cuban Communist Party didn't exist until the 60s.
The thing is is that Cuba was already a country before it became a country. When Cespedes, freed his slaves and initiated the cause of his revolution. He created something known as “la republica en armas” or the republic in arms. Which basically had its presidents and leaders and even had its own constitution; which many Cubans followed and joined so basically, Tomas Palma was never really Cuba “first” president.
Didn't discuss the slave trade... Didn't discuss the brutality of the US backed Batista government... Didn't discuss the revolutionary agragrian reform laws by castro... Propaganda type video that doesn't consider the nuances of actual modern Cuba history. Sad!

Not surprising since they also barely even teach American history in American schools anymore. It's constantly being rewritten and whitewashed to teach a narrative version of history. They might as will call it Woke History instead of American History.
This info is shit anyway. Batista was a literal fascist and a nazi sympathizer. They also make Cuba seem as if it’s an impoverished malnourished and uneducated wasteland when cuba has an export on medical professionals, has some of the best medical education globally, is number one in Latin America interns of education, has some of the best and totally free healthcare, and has almost completely eradicated illiteracy. But this video only talks about the negatives.
@@gggfightklub8449 Batista was a fascist but he was right winged. There is no comparison whatsoever to the left wing NAZI's (German Socialist Worker's Party.) Batista did not seek to exterminate any group of people. He just didn't want leftists communists taking over the Cuban government. Cuba is an impoverished, malnourished, uneducated (unless indoctrination counts as an education these days), wasteland. I was born there, I have been back since leaving. It's even worse now than what it was then. As impossible as that was to believe until I saw it for myself. Cuba produces nothing. The doctors it trains don't have the tools they need, often you can't fill any of your prescriptions at state run pharmacies you have to buy them off people on the streets on the black market. And hope you are getting what they say. Everything failing is blamed on the embargo. I have to things to say to that. First, almost everything we buy in the US comes from China. It's hard to find products actually made in the US or Europe. China could care less about the embargo. Why isn't Cuba purchasing their supplies from China like everyone else? Huh..... Second, if Cuba's future and economy depended on capitalism from the US, then it was doomed from the start. What was the point of a communist revolution that whines about it's failures by blaming it on not having access to capitalist trappings. They should be happy to be free of our capitalist trappings. Huh.... Remember Castro failed in his first attempt to overthrow the Cuban government in 1953, he was tried and sentenced. If Batista had been a Nazi like minded individual, or anything like the murderous Castro brothers, Castro would have never left prison alive to try to overthrow the government again. He would have never seen the light of day again. It's a shame that he did live. It's sad how easily people show their ignorance and lack of knowledge and understanding of history and events. Cuba's free healthcare and educational system pre-dates the communist revolution by a lot. It was not communism that brought free education and free healthcare to the Cuban people. But it was communism that has destroyed it where what we have left is an educational system of leftist indoctrination camps and a healthcare system where most of our facilities for the average person are dilapidated and unsanitary. Where modern medical equipment often is unavailable or broken, where filling a simple antibiotic prescription at a pharmacy is a near impossibility and you have a better chance of buying it at much higher prices on the black market or going without it and die. Where did you indoctrinate your rosy fictional fantasy of Cuba that you described? I was born there, I lived it, I have been back since and seen it actually worsen. Your rosy fantasy is a complete fabrication and a lie. It is Cuban communist propaganda. The very few comforts, luxuries and perks that exist are for the people high up in the government, for foreign dignitaries, for tourists with USD, EUROS, CADS to spend, and for Cuban exiles returning to visit their families with USD, EUROS, CADS in their pockets who can enjoy comforts that no average Cuban living on the island can afford.
@It ́s not what you think Unfortunately these indoctrinated automatons are everywhere. They are like locusts and they destroy everything, everywhere they go. They build nothing, they produce nothing, but they think they are entitled to everything that successful hard working citizens have worked and earned for themselves. I fear that what has become of Cuba is doomed to be the future of the US as well.
Hatuey (/ɑːˈtweɪ/), also Hatüey (/ˌɑːtuˈeɪ/; died February 2, 1512), was a Taíno cacique (chief) originally from the island of Hispaniola, who lived in the early sixteenth century and fled to Cuba during the Spanish conquest. He has attained legendary status for leading a group of natives in a fight against the invading Spaniards, and thus becoming one of the first fighters against colonialism in the New World.

A father of a family worked in a factory with his wife and 2 grown children. This couple also had two daughters, an 8-year-old and a 15-year-old young daughter, very beautiful. Between the marriage and the two older children, although they did not live comfortably, they could cover their expenses every month ... One day the owner of the factory upon learning of the existence of that beautiful daughter proposed to the parents that if they offered their young daughter as a wife, they would all lack nothing, to which the couple refused. The angry factory owner fired both the couple and their two older children from his factory. Weeks later, after unsuccessfully looking for work, this family discovered that the millionaire owner of the factory had bribed, threatened or intimidated anyone who provided work or help to this family... Although some dared to help with food and a little money, little by little many gave in to the intimidation of the depraved businessman, and this family began to lack food and resources to live. A family secretly offered him 3 loaves at dusk so that they could eat something, which the father had to ration in equal parts so that everyone could eat something that even if it did not fill them, would keep them alive. As time went by, the need in that home was desperate, and given the inability of this couple and their older children to support their family, this began to affect the relationship within the home... their parents, although they loved their young daughters, they could not keep them healthy, as they couldn’t provide for them any more. Every time they went out looking for work, everyone closed their doors on them, people were too afraid on helping out... Soon as the girls were starving, the factory manager began a whole campaign making the younger daughters believe that their parents were not capable of supporting or providing any more for the family. He said; “These parents are unable to provide even the basics for their child to live humanely”... Over time with the offers and promises of a good life, this depraved businessman sweetened the ears and eyes of these two young girls who went to live far away from their parents, in the businessman's house... For this factory owner, it was very easy to stifle all the possibilities that this old couple, together with their two oldest children had to support their own family, and then use the result of their macabre work, to blame them for their inability to guide and provide for their minor daughters to have a dignified life... The daughters who did not have the maturity and understanding necessary to realize the manipulation of which they were victims of, ended up changing the love of their family and their place of origin for the offer of a better life at the hands of this depraved businessman... Why do news channels muted their voices about this truth, and american people keep silent, when so many countries are asking for justice... news.un.org/en/story/2021/06/1094612
Reforms were made by Raul Castro so that Cuba could survive sanctions imposed by the U.S. government. Tourism has been allowed to increase because there was nowhere else to turn, the U.S. has literally cut Cuba off from trading with the rest of the world because of the embargo
Reforms were made because the people of cuba are getting fed up of the government. The cuban government is utterly corrupt, more information via the internet is getting into cuba and people there can finally see what its like everywhere else. I lived there for 11 years, tourists get a very warped view of what it means to be cuban.

@Gabby Bennett You really don’t seem to have dived deep into history, because if you had you probably wouldn’t be making the statements you are. A lot of people just like to label all “black” people as African when that’s not the case. Also do you know where the people who were slaves were prior, they were in Europe and prior to that do you know. If you did it would make more sense to you. Also if you have two people groups who know nothing about a crop or how to farm that crop because it’s not known to either the slave or the kidnappers as it wasn’t their crop either how do you know the agronomy of how to get that crop to thrive. How do you know the soil or acidity or any other thing such as how much water etc. You wouldn’t take two people groups from foreign places to plant a crop that both are unfamiliar with. It’s common sense, but sometimes common sense isn’t always common.

I'm Cuban American. Don't expect this video to clarify much about Cuba's history. It isn't accurate. My father was an officer under Che Guevara during the Revolutionary War. This video is too "Woke" sympathetic to be accurate. USA had no responsibility why a brutal dictator took control of the island.
This started good but they start lying when they say that the tainos were wiped out. It was said and taught because tainos are the rightfully owners of those lands. Stop lying because part of them you see them ont the east side of America. Alexandra Ocasio Cortez. She's a beautiful taina.
"Cuban history in 5 minutes"
The video "6:04"
You did this video a year ago , and you forgot to mention how we the Cuban people bee fighting for freedom for 62 years 😭😭😭you forgot that party
That's because there's a lot of we the Cuban people outside of Cuba hoping to liberate it from Communism and one day return to our stolen homeland where for 62 years dreams die before they have a chance to be born.
that why we speak spanish
Well at least you are apparently smarter than the communist in the comments
Really wanna point out and hopefully reply to this comment right now because I wanna point out that you forgot some very important leaders such as the second president and the seventh president
Wrong, the bloqueo or restrictions from USA to cuba never included food or medicines. Do some research
How would you call someone who take the power of a country by using militar power? What will you call someone who in over 50 years never allowed democratic elections? A president?
How would you call someone who has established an economic blockade to a whole country violating human rights for over 50 years? What will you call someone who believe are the police of the world imposing their own concept of “freedom” by invading countries? A democratic country?
@JA B only ones people are great and the other are bigotted ignorant people who are so dosed up on "freedom" they dont know what to do with themselves
democracy is socialism given enough time germany ussr all started with election. most history videos on yt been rewrote that why non thems older than 5 years were having a culture revolution rn globalist socialists have taken over everything
I’m a Cuban and It’s sad to see how such a beautiful country went to ruins because of communism
Carlos Manuel de Cespedes was not alive by 1930 (you used the wrong graphic). Edit: see comments, it sounds like it's his son that was referenced.
And the Cuban Communist Party didn't exist until the 60s.
He’s talking about his son who has the same name
@@Stoicsaiyan ah, that'd make sense then.
The second president was Cespedes junior. Ok but..
We see there the Picture of his father who was the one who iniciated the revolution un 1868
The thing is is that Cuba was already a country before it became a country. When Cespedes, freed his slaves and initiated the cause of his revolution. He created something known as “la republica en armas” or the republic in arms. Which basically had its presidents and leaders and even had its own constitution; which many Cubans followed and joined so basically, Tomas Palma was never really Cuba “first” president.

Didn't discuss the slave trade... Didn't discuss the brutality of the US backed Batista government... Didn't discuss the revolutionary agragrian reform laws by castro... Propaganda type video that doesn't consider the nuances of actual modern Cuba history. Sad!

In fact, he was the son of Carlos Manuel de Cespedes, his name was very similar

Your History about Cuba, partially is a fake news. The live is horrible under Raul Castro..😭😭😭
This video spreads a bunch of misinformation. Cuban was never really like the soviets. Read about the cuba democracy and power distribution system. Also read about what the people say about cuba after the revolution
😂😂😂 castrista catfish
Has some pro-capitalist propaganda especially towards the end but decent video overall
They don't teach us this in school 🤦♀️
they do...but all in this videos were lies from the government
Not surprising since they also barely even teach American history in American schools anymore. It's constantly being rewritten and whitewashed to teach a narrative version of history. They might as will call it Woke History instead of American History.
This info is shit anyway. Batista was a literal fascist and a nazi sympathizer. They also make Cuba seem as if it’s an impoverished malnourished and uneducated wasteland when cuba has an export on medical professionals, has some of the best medical education globally, is number one in Latin America interns of education, has some of the best and totally free healthcare, and has almost completely eradicated illiteracy. But this video only talks about the negatives.
@@gggfightklub8449 Batista was a fascist but he was right winged. There is no comparison whatsoever to the left wing NAZI's (German Socialist Worker's Party.) Batista did not seek to exterminate any group of people. He just didn't want leftists communists taking over the Cuban government. Cuba is an impoverished, malnourished, uneducated (unless indoctrination counts as an education these days), wasteland. I was born there, I have been back since leaving. It's even worse now than what it was then. As impossible as that was to believe until I saw it for myself. Cuba produces nothing. The doctors it trains don't have the tools they need, often you can't fill any of your prescriptions at state run pharmacies you have to buy them off people on the streets on the black market. And hope you are getting what they say. Everything failing is blamed on the embargo. I have to things to say to that. First, almost everything we buy in the US comes from China. It's hard to find products actually made in the US or Europe. China could care less about the embargo. Why isn't Cuba purchasing their supplies from China like everyone else? Huh..... Second, if Cuba's future and economy depended on capitalism from the US, then it was doomed from the start. What was the point of a communist revolution that whines about it's failures by blaming it on not having access to capitalist trappings. They should be happy to be free of our capitalist trappings. Huh.... Remember Castro failed in his first attempt to overthrow the Cuban government in 1953, he was tried and sentenced. If Batista had been a Nazi like minded individual, or anything like the murderous Castro brothers, Castro would have never left prison alive to try to overthrow the government again. He would have never seen the light of day again. It's a shame that he did live. It's sad how easily people show their ignorance and lack of knowledge and understanding of history and events. Cuba's free healthcare and educational system pre-dates the communist revolution by a lot. It was not communism that brought free education and free healthcare to the Cuban people. But it was communism that has destroyed it where what we have left is an educational system of leftist indoctrination camps and a healthcare system where most of our facilities for the average person are dilapidated and unsanitary. Where modern medical equipment often is unavailable or broken, where filling a simple antibiotic prescription at a pharmacy is a near impossibility and you have a better chance of buying it at much higher prices on the black market or going without it and die. Where did you indoctrinate your rosy fictional fantasy of Cuba that you described? I was born there, I lived it, I have been back since and seen it actually worsen. Your rosy fantasy is a complete fabrication and a lie. It is Cuban communist propaganda. The very few comforts, luxuries and perks that exist are for the people high up in the government, for foreign dignitaries, for tourists with USD, EUROS, CADS to spend, and for Cuban exiles returning to visit their families with USD, EUROS, CADS in their pockets who can enjoy comforts that no average Cuban living on the island can afford.
@It ́s not what you think Unfortunately these indoctrinated automatons are everywhere. They are like locusts and they destroy everything, everywhere they go. They build nothing, they produce nothing, but they think they are entitled to everything that successful hard working citizens have worked and earned for themselves. I fear that what has become of Cuba is doomed to be the future of the US as well.
And What about the Black Men like Hatuey, Antonio Maceo, Quentin Bandera who helped free Cuba from Imperialism ?
Who the fuck is Hatvey?
@@mchammer9184 Ask yo mama
Hatuey (/ɑːˈtweɪ/), also Hatüey (/ˌɑːtuˈeɪ/; died February 2, 1512), was a Taíno cacique (chief) originally from the island of Hispaniola, who lived in the early sixteenth century and fled to Cuba during the Spanish conquest. He has attained legendary status for leading a group of natives in a fight against the invading Spaniards, and thus becoming one of the first fighters against colonialism in the New World.
Yasha Halla You said “Hatvey” not Hatuey....And Hatuey was not a n gr....He was not indigenous you dumb stupid n gr
*He was indigenous not black
Cuba 🇨🇺 without communism would be like South Korea 🇰🇷 a small but very rich and developed country
this is the conclusion you have, cuba would be rich if usa would allow them to exist. Communism was not the reason yall poor. Did you even listen to the video ?

The artwork in the video is amazing; it is a true shame that the information is so vague and in some parts of the video, plain wrong! One example is at 3:28 WRONG Carlos Manuel de Cespedes. I guess they tried?

A father of a family worked in a factory with his wife and 2 grown children. This couple also had two daughters, an 8-year-old and a 15-year-old young daughter, very beautiful. Between the marriage and the two older children, although they did not live comfortably, they could cover their expenses every month ...
One day the owner of the factory upon learning of the existence of that beautiful daughter proposed to the parents that if they offered their young daughter as a wife, they would all lack nothing, to which the couple refused. The angry factory owner fired both the couple and their two older children from his factory.
Weeks later, after unsuccessfully looking for work, this family discovered that the millionaire owner of the factory had bribed, threatened or intimidated anyone who provided work or help to this family...
Although some dared to help with food and a little money, little by little many gave in to the intimidation of the depraved businessman, and this family began to lack food and resources to live.
A family secretly offered him 3 loaves at dusk so that they could eat something, which the father had to ration in equal parts so that everyone could eat something that even if it did not fill them, would keep them alive.
As time went by, the need in that home was desperate, and given the inability of this couple and their older children to support their family, this began to affect the relationship within the home... their parents, although they loved their young daughters, they could not keep them healthy, as they couldn’t provide for them any more. Every time they went out looking for work, everyone closed their doors on them, people were too afraid on helping out...
Soon as the girls were starving, the factory manager began a whole campaign making the younger daughters believe that their parents were not capable of supporting or providing any more for the family. He said; “These parents are unable to provide even the basics for their child to live humanely”...
Over time with the offers and promises of a good life, this depraved businessman sweetened the ears and eyes of these two young girls who went to live far away from their parents, in the businessman's house...
For this factory owner, it was very easy to stifle all the possibilities that this old couple, together with their two oldest children had to support their own family, and then use the result of their macabre work, to blame them for their inability to guide and provide for their minor daughters to have a dignified life...
The daughters who did not have the maturity and understanding necessary to realize the manipulation of which they were victims of, ended up changing the love of their family and their place of origin for the offer of a better life at the hands of this depraved businessman...
Why do news channels muted their voices about this truth, and american people keep silent, when so many countries are asking for justice... news.un.org/en/story/2021/06/1094612
Reforms were made by Raul Castro so that Cuba could survive sanctions imposed by the U.S. government. Tourism has been allowed to increase because there was nowhere else to turn, the U.S. has literally cut Cuba off from trading with the rest of the world because of the embargo
Youll noever hear about it but viva la revolution
Reforms were made because the people of cuba are getting fed up of the government. The cuban government is utterly corrupt, more information via the internet is getting into cuba and people there can finally see what its like everywhere else. I lived there for 11 years, tourists get a very warped view of what it means to be cuban.
and just so you know those sanctions came after castro STOLE all private property from the people of cuba and others who had invested there
@@Quebolayque venture capitalists are evil and contribute to colonialism why would the leader of a counry subject the people to that. Batista did under a U.S. backed dictatorship which clearly created poor living conditions for everyone but white american investors and the bourgeoisie class. Nationalization is not theft it is redistribution of wealth. How would allowing wage theft under capitalism and allowing imperialists to run the country be just in comparison to reallocation of money towards government-run programs and subsidies

Why would they bring people from West Africa who didn’t deal with sugar cane to work the sugar cane fields, it doesn’t make since as sugar cane is from Asia, South Asia and Polynesia. The narrative doesn’t make since.
@Gabby Bennett
Would you bring people who never dealt with a plant to a new place to cultivate or would you bring Simone with experience of either the land or the plant. People don’t know real history.
@Gabby Bennett
You really don’t seem to have dived deep into history, because if you had you probably wouldn’t be making the statements you are. A lot of people just like to label all “black” people as African when that’s not the case. Also do you know where the people who were slaves were prior, they were in Europe and prior to that do you know. If you did it would make more sense to you.
Also if you have two people groups who know nothing about a crop or how to farm that crop because it’s not known to either the slave or the kidnappers as it wasn’t their crop either how do you know the agronomy of how to get that crop to thrive. How do you know the soil or acidity or any other thing such as how much water etc. You wouldn’t take two people groups from foreign places to plant a crop that both are unfamiliar with. It’s common sense, but sometimes common sense isn’t always common.
