“In three words, he destroyed it.

I'm not going to claim (as so many Cubans from Castro's own generation often do) that Cuba was paradise, because it was not. Much as in the rest of Latin America, there was poverty, illiteracy and hunger.

However, was it to the degree that the communists claim? No. As opposed to most other Latin American countries, Cuba had always had a priviledged position. During colonial times, Havana was the seat of the Spanish Crown’s “Casa de Indias” and therefore, where all the plunder was gathered before it was shipped to Spain under guard of the Armada. This brought considerable wealth to the country as one of the most important trading posts of the hemisphere.

After independence in 1902, geographical proximity, beautiful beaches, warm climate and people, as well as continued friendly governments kept it a preferred place for Americans.”

Answer from: Quest

answer: a parliamentary system is a system of democratic governance of a state where the executive derives its democratic legitimacy from its ability to command the confidence of the legislature, typically a parliament, and is also held accountable to that parliament. in a parliamentary system, the head of state is usually a person distinct from the head of government. this is in contrast to a presidential system, where the head of state often is also the head of government and, most importantly, the executive does not derive its democratic legitimacy from the legislature.

countries with parliamentary democracies may be constitutional monarchies, where a monarch is the head of state while the head of government is almost always a member of parliament (such as the united kingdom, denmark, sweden, and japan), or parliamentary republics, where a mostly ceremonial president is the head of state while the head of government is regularly from the legislature (such as ireland, germany, india, and italy). in a few parliamentary republics, such as botswana, south africa, and suriname, among some others, the head of government is also head of state, but is elected by and is answerable to parliament. in bicameral parliaments, the head of government is generally, though not always, a member of the lower house.

parliamentarianism is the dominant form of government in europe, with 32 of its 50 sovereign states being parliamentarian. it is also common in the caribbean, being the form of government of 10 of its 13 island states, and in oceania. elsewhere in the world, parliamentary countries are less common, but they are distributed through all continents, most often in former colonies of the british empire that subscribe to a particular brand of parliamentarianism known as the westminster system.
