the cuban revolution
the cuban revolution
The Cuban Revolution was an armed uprising led by Fidel Castro that eventually toppled the brutal dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. In 1959, Fidel Castro took over and seized power. On July 26, 1953, he led about 160 men in a suicidal attack on the Moncada military barracks in Santiago de Cuba in hopes of sparking a popular uprising. Most of the men were killed, and Castro himself was arrested. becuase of this, food got tough since the soviet union stopped sending food to cuba. many refugees felt as if it wasnt as safe of a place to live.

escape
- Methods the refugees used to escape
escape
the cubans escaping
Method one - For more than 50 years, refugees have braved the 90-mile, shark-infested stretch of water between Cuba and Florida. In search of freedom, they set sail in flotillas of rickety fishing boats, ingeniously converted cars, and homemade rafts. Method two - another method the refugees used was similar but still a little different. Some people would instead of traveling straight to their planned destination, instead they would travel from country to country.

- what challenges did the refugees face?

struggles
lack of supplies
transportation method
danger of the sea
For the longest time, Cuban refugees have set sail on the sea and risked the sea since they didn't really have a choice. refugees sail the 90-mile, shark-infested stretch of water between Cuba and Florida. In search of freedom. some people were found by coast guards, which took them directly back to Cuba which was another thing they really had to look out for on their journey
the sea was a horror by itself already, but ever since Fidel seized power and took over, everybody had a lack of food, money and more. which meant refugees had to build their own transportation which made the trip even riskier. (for example, they could run out of gas, the boat could break, a piece could fall off etc.)
as you can imagine, back in the days, getting what they need wihtout much money wasnt easy. while traveling at sea, many refugees didnt get exactly what they needed to be able to survive their journey. and because of that, many refugees didnt survive or the journey was extremly rough because of many diffrent issues.
graph + information
green = orgin country blue = asylum (you cant really see but the averge would be 250-400)
in 2017, Changes to United States immigration policy in January left more than 500 Cubans stranded in the Mexican border city of Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, while others are stuck in jail in Chiapas.
heres a graph i made with information according to the refugees project webiste:)
conclusion
conclusion
in conclusion, Cuban refugees are still existing. in fact, as of 2020, there are even more refugees than in 2015,2016,2017 etc. so in this case, the case of Cuban refugees isn't exactly getting better (although it has been a lot better since the 2000's ) but the reasons have changed quite a bit.
