The complex and tumultuous history of U.S.-Cuba relations has been a focal point of global diplomacy for decades.

At the heart of this saga lies the embargo, a contentious policy that has significantly shaped the political and economic landscape between the two nations.

The origins of the embargo can be traced back to 1960, when the U.S.

government, under the Eisenhower administration, imposed a partial trade embargo on Cuba in response to the nationalization of American-owned properties by the newly established revolutionary government led by Fidel Castro.

This initial action was then expanded into a comprehensive embargo the following year under the Kennedy administration. - https://cubafocusguide.com/blog/cuba-embargo-history/?unique_id_8xqgake4
