In January of 1960, the United States conducted dozens of bombing raids on sugar factories and stockpiles in Cuba in a long-standing attempt to weaken them so they could take them over economically via a favorable government. The US denied it until a plane crashed that February and the body of the pilot, Robert Ellis Frost was found with a map of the previously alleged bombings.
The United States has been trying to take over Cuba since the early 19th century and it still continues to this day. This is but one example of our constant attempts to beat #LatinAmerica, and specifically Cuba, into economic submission.
