Cuba is an island country located in the Caribbean Sea, south of the United States and east of Mexico. It is the largest island in the Caribbean and has a population of approximately 11 million people. Havana is the capital city, largest city, province, major port, and leading commercial center of Cuba.
Cuba was originally inhabited by indigenous peoples until the arrival of Spanish colonizers in the 15th century. It gained independence from Spain in 1902, but was later ruled by a series of authoritarian governments until the Cuban Revolution in 1959, led by Fidel Castro.

Following the revolution, Cuba became a socialist state and established close ties with the Soviet Union. In the decades that followed, Cuba faced a number of challenges, including a trade embargo imposed by the United States and economic difficulties resulting from the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s.

Today, Cuba remains a socialist state with a planned economy and a one-party political system dominated by the Communist Party of Cuba. The country has a strong emphasis on education and healthcare, and has achieved high levels of literacy and life expectancy.

Cuba is known for its music, dance, and cultural traditions, as well as its beaches, colonial architecture, and vintage cars. The country is also famous for its cigars and rum, which are exported worldwide.
