From the Paper:

"The relationship between the United States and Cuba has been tense for the past 40 years, and there have been many confrontations between us. The U.S. had recognized the government in 1959 led by Castro, but when Cuba brought about the Marxist-Leninist system, things began to get tense. In 1960 the U.S. instituted an embargo against Cuba, and since then there has been many confrontations between the two countries. Our systems of government now vary greatly in many ways, especially regarding human rights. People are still trying to flee the communist clutches of Castro and come to the U.S. where they can be free."
