The United States, particularly the Army, has a long history of
involvement with Cuba. This history has included the
Spanish-American War of 1898, military interventions in 1906 and
1912, the 1961 Bay of Pigs Invasion, the 1962 Missile Crisis,
counterinsurgency, and low intensity warfare in Latin America and
Africa against Cuban supported guerrilla movements. During the Cold
War, Fidel Castro's communist takeover on January 1, 1959,
heightened U.S. concerns and highlighted the threat Cuba posed as a
strategic ally of the Soviet Union. The collapse of the Soviet bloc
in the 1990s raised hopes for an end to the communist regime in
Cuba. However, after almost 5 decades of authoritarian rule, the
Cuban dictator remains firmly in power. On July 31, 2006, his
brother, Raul Castro, assumed provisional presidential power after
an official announcement that Fidel was ill and would undergo
surgery.
