The Republic of Cuba (pronounced /ˈkjuːbə/ ( listen); Spanish:República de Cuba,pronounced [reˈpuβlika ee ˈkuβa] ( listen)) is an island country in the Caribbean.The nation of Cuba consists of the main island of Cuba,the Isla de la Juventud,and several archipelagos.Havana is the largest city in Cuba and the country's capital.Santiago de Cuba is the second largest city.[9][10] To the north of Cuba lies the United States and the Bahamas,Mexico is to the west,the Cayman Islands and Jamaica are to the south,and Haiti and the Dominican Republic are to the southeast.
In 1492,Christopher Columbus found and claimed the island now occupied by Cuba,for the Kingdom of Spain.Cuba remained territory of Spain until the Spanish–American War ended in 1898,and gained formal independence from the U.S.in 1902.Between 1953 and 1959 the Cuban Revolution occurred,removing the dictatorship[11] of Fulgencio Batista,and installing an alternative dictatorship[12][13] led by Fidel Castro.
