What would happen to Cuba if Fidel Castro dies?
601644
I'm no expert, but most of the Cuban people seem to like American culture enough to push consensus to accept Democracy. There may be figures in the military that want to take the reigns like Castro did, so that may be a potential source of conflict. But if the US really wants to impose it's will, they can really pressure a new guy in different, more direct ways. Especially since Russia doesn't have their back anymore.

The Cuban Revolution was the overthrow of Fulgencio Batista’s regime by the 26th of July Movement and the establishment of a new Cuban government led by Fidel Castro in the 1950s. It began with the assault on the Moncada Barracks on July 26, 1953, and ended on January 1, 1959, when Batista was driven from the country and the cities Santa Clara and Santiago de Cuba were seized by rebels, led by Che Guevara and Fidel Castro's surrogates Raul Castro and Huber Matos, respectively. The term "Cuban Revolution" is also used to refer to the social revolution after the overthrow in 1959 to present and the adoption of Marxist principles by the new Cuban Government.

More than anything else, I think it started out of embarassment. When Fidel Castro came out of nowhere to lead his people against a very corrupt regieme led by Bautista, it was like he was a Latino John Kennedy. We welcomed him here in the US. The problem was, of course, that much of the corruption was tied up with the American Mafia and gambling cartels. They did not take very well to being kicked out of Cuba. \n\nThen there was Fidel's Socialist leanings. He was a man of the people, right? He and Che Gueverra saw themselves as liberators. The revolution would not be confined to just Cuba but might well be exported to all the corrupt North American dominated regimes. The US could not stomach that. Trade started getting "difficult."\n\nFidel appealed to a nation very interested in establishing a Western Hemisphere base of influence, the Soviet Union. This was the era of a very hot "Cold War" with Nikita Khruchov taking off his shoe and banging it on the desk in the UN threatening the US with "We will bury you!" The Soviet Union even went so far as to send guided missiles to Cuba. John Kennedy was President at the time. It seemed as though the US and the Soviet Union were going to nuclear war over Cuba. The Soviets withdrew their missiles.\n\nFidel stayed on. The US took in Cubano refugees. Some of them launched attempts to topple Fidel's government. The CIA may have even tried to assassinate him.  There were rumors that Cuba was behind the JFK assassination plot.\n\nSo, Cuba has remained only 80 miles off the Florida shores. And the US still has a base there where the prisoners from the latest war are kept. Strange, huh? Yet, we still do not trade with them.

No......Cuba has trade relations with practically every other country in the world and still can't generate a decent economy. \nFu*ck em, let the commie bas*tards rot in poverty till there is true regime change.

partly, yes. Cuba, as you know is a commie country who hates America (or at least Fidel Castro does). I think bush is too paranoid...

Prime Minister of Cuba was a position in the government of Cuba. Fidel Castro assumed the position of Prime Minister in 1959 replacing José Miró Cardona.\n\nThe office was abolished on December 2, 1976 following a restructuring of the government and the implementation of a new Cuban constitution. Castro became President of the Council of state (President of Cuba) and president of the Council of ministers, positions he has filled ever since.

Fidel Castro\n\n\nAs an example (see the diagram below), José López marries María Famosa. Their son is named Juan López Famosa. Juan, in turn marries Isabel Fernández García. The son of Juan and Isabel could be named Pedro López Fernández, Pedro López y Fernández, Pedro López Famosa y Fernández, or Pedro López Famosa y Fernández García - the last two forms preserving the "Famosa" surname for future generations.\n\n\nIt is important to note that, in Hispanic cultures, wives retain their maiden names when they marry. They can legally add their husband's surname(s) after their own, preceded by the word "de" ("of", implying "spouse of"). Thus, in the preceding example, Isabel Fernández could sign her name as Isabel Fernández de López, or as Isabel Fernández García de López Famosa. If her husband has died, she can use the words "viuda de" (widow of), abbreviated "vda. de", instead of just "de".

Well....cuba used to be the richest nation in the caribbean before castro took over.  Also, they were making major progress toward becoming an enlightened democracy.  That is a very attractive situation for a hispanic who wants to maintain their identity as a hispanic.  Unfortunately, it all went to hell when rich elites in cuba and the united states, in love with the evil of marxism, brought castro to power.  The working class in cuba, of course, resisted him and nearly won against overwhelming military odds.  Unfortunately, they lost and many of them were killed in a genocide.  Today, cuba is a hell hole.  Castro loots the economy for his personal wealth.  He sells the men into slavery to foriegn corporations from china and russia and sells the women into slavery as prostitutes.\n\nThey should have stayed in the US.

We sell airplanes to other countries, why not Russia?  Don't worry about it.  Cuba probably has a few 29's flying around.  Our Navy needs something to play with from time to time.  Just ask the Libyans.  As for who is Hugo Chavez...he is Venezuela's Fidel Castro.  Pro Communist and Anti-American President.

After baseball, Amorós became a prosperous rancher in Cuba, but the coming of Fidel Castro forced him to flee to Miami, Florida, where he lived in poverty until his death.
