 DR. BIRSEN FILIP: Spain was the first country to exercise dominion over
Cuba, beginning in 1510. However, Spain’s defeat at the hands of the
Americans in the Spanish-American War of
1898 did not bring about the emancipation that Cubans were expecting,
as the island was subsequently transformed into a US neo-colony.
