		Cuba's Freedom Fighter, Antonio Maceo 1845-1896 ^Votes:0 Cuba's Freedom Fighter, Antonio Maceo 1845-1896 "My duties to Patria and to my own political convictions are above all human effort; for these I shall reach the pedestal of freedom or I shall perish fighting for the redemption of that land. . ." Antonio Maceo November 3, 1890 By Magdalen M. Pando Introduction Antonio Maceo was one of the principal figures of the Cuban struggle for independence, which consisted not only of action on the fields of battle but also of the political maneuvers of Cuba, Spain, and the United States. Maceo, hailed as the "Titan of Bronze" after his death in battle, played a vital part in both the Ten Years' War of 1868- 1878, and the successful war that began in 1895, ending in 1898 after the United States had entered the struggle.

		History Of Cuba ^Votes:0 HISTORY OF CUBA By Jerry Wilkinson Cuba is important to the history of Florida and the Keys because Florida was a Spanish possession until 1762 when Florida was traded to Britain. Even then, Spain insisted that the Keys were not a part of Florida. England contested this, but neither cared as long as one did not interfere with the other's shipping.

Slowly the name Cuba w Read More Go to Site

As the native Indian population died out, African slaves were imported to work the plantations. Slavery was abolished in 1886. Cuba was the last major Spanish colony to gain independence, following a 50-year struggle begun in 1850. The final push for independence began in 1895, when Jose Marti, Cuba's national hero, announced the "Grito de Baire" ("Call to arms from Baire").

		History of Cuba ^Votes:0 History of Cuba Christopher Columbus landed on the island of Cuba on October 28, 1492, during his initial westward voyage. In honor of the daughter of Ferdinand V and Isabella I of Spain, his benefactors, Columbus named it Juana, the first of several names he successively applied to the island. It eventually became known as Cuba, from its aboriginal name, Cubanascnan.

VelÁzquez subsequently founded several other settlements, including Santiago de Cuba in 1514 and Havana in 1515.
