150 years of tension may be coming to an end.

Vox's graphic designer deserves a raise.

You know who the US treats like a Colony?

Puerto Rico

My parents got me a World Book Encyclopedia set when I was in 4th grade. I read all the volumes and by the time I got to US History in 12 grade I wrote a four page essay on the imperialistic tendencies the US had in Latin America in the early 20th Century. It was titled... "Talons of the Eagle"
The teacher said I didn't have to take the final exam at the end of the school year because of that essay. Thank you encyclopedias!

I like the end "but it looks like they might both finally be ready"
Trump: Hold my beer!

Literally as I was watching this video, during the part about Fidel Castro, my phone gave me a notification that he passed away. What a spooky coincidence

Your editing skills are just over the top.

The United States should respect the sovereignty of different countries, including that of Cuba. The future of Cuba should be decided by the Cuban people.

Nice to hear a balanced story, we all knew there had to be another side that nobody wanted to teach.

I would love to see an updated version of this video that includes the most recent several years of developments!

And they say the Confederates weren't fighting for slavery

[CptnJCFG]

Vox: Explains concepts and realities that I had no idea existed.

Thank you so much Vox! All your videos are super fascinating and interesting and I enjoy every one. 👍🏻

USA having a debate between imperialists and peoples who think they aren't and that the USA is not is so funny. Imperialism is the DNA of the United States.

You know your high school history classes are a huge fail when you learn more about a part history in a 7 minute video as compared to having shitty teachers for 4 years.

[AntiMessiah]

They should show this video in american schools. 👍

Hope for the best relationship between us and cuba, .. from indonesia with love!

[waspwrap]

3:06 fears of communism, more like the fact of the United States, only cares about their own political interests, versus what’s actually best for the Cuban people, and what they want

[ramsesmanzo]

I'm Cuban and I approve this video, I hope to see Cuba free, and I hope the U.S. respect our sovereignty and and act as a friend and not as an authority over Cuba.
