When did cuba become a country?

Question

?

Answer 1

I guess a lot depends on what you mean by country.

Also, I don't think we know enough about Taino society to say whether they could be regarded as a country before Columbus.

Otherwise, I think that one could argue that the forerunner of the modern country of Cuba was the Spanish colony - and that was really created in 1511 when the first governor was appointed.

Cuba remained a colony until 1898, when the Spanish were defeated - so that is really when it became a separate country (though it remained under US administration until 1902).

You could also count from 1895, when the Cuban revolution against the Spanish restarted.

Answer 2

Cuba declared independence from Spain on October 10, 1868...but was under their domain from1511. Then it was declared as a Republic on May 20, 1902  and the Cuban Revolution was January 1, 1959 with Fidel Castro taking over.

¿Is this a serious question?
