Cold War #279 – Gunpowder In Hell (Cuban Revolution #4)

February 1, 2025 • 31 mins

Of course, when the war was over in July, the U.S. had no intention of letting the Cuban people have their independence. As the commander of US forces in Cuba said: "Why, these people are no more fit for self-government than gunpowder is for hell." In the fight for freedom, lives had been lost and the country had been wiped out economically. Yet the Cubans still weren't going to get their independence.
