Cuba is an island country located in the Caribbean Sea, south of Florida and the Bahamas, and east of Mexico. It has a population of over 11 million people and its capital city is Havana. The official language is Spanish and the currency is the Cuban peso.
Cuba has a rich and complex history, having been inhabited by indigenous peoples before being colonized by Spain in the 16th century. It gained independence from Spain in 1902, but was later under the control of the United States from 1898 to 1902, and again from 1906 to 1959. In 1959, Fidel Castro and his revolutionary forces overthrew the government and established a socialist state, which has been in power ever since.
