  1. Yes, that is a good question. Riki gave you a good informational site with Cuba's history.

    Cuba is beautiful and so are the Cubans.

    But basically, boats were always around. Most people knew how to build boats and floating rafts and could travel around if needed.

    This is some information I came across:

    The island was inhabited by several different indigenous groups when it was visited in 1492 by Christopher Columbus. The Spanish conquest began in 1511 under the leadership of Diego de Velázquez, who founded Baracoa and other major settlements. Cuba served as the staging area for Spanish explorations of the Americas. As an assembly point for treasure fleets, it offered a target for French and British buccaneers, who attacked the island's cities incessantly.

    The native population was quickly destroyed under Spanish rule, and was soon replaced as laborers by African slaves, who contributed much to the cultural evolution of the island. The European population was continuously replenished by immigration, chiefly from Spain but also from other Latin American countries. Despite pirate attacks and the trade restrictions of Spanish mercantilist policies, Cuba, the Pearl of the Antilles, prospered.

    So basically, islands anywhere can be reached with different forms of travel that man invented from way before modern inventions.

    But, greed, politics and power (and abuse of power) are what cause problems....all countries integrate with one another and when there are power struggles, things are bound to happen. One day Cuba may be different.


  2. People live there because there is sea all around it and we cannot walk on water.

    Otherwise, the only people in Cuba would be fidel and its little bruder

    About your last question, nobody knew that fidel and the little bruder would rule it

  3. Cuba is very definitely an island,  and a beautiful one. Your question is very interesting, I've often  been curious with the same questions.Check the site below it will give you all the info you are looking for.
