Thanks for posting this. Americans need to know their true history in order to not repeat it.From Wikipedia:
"In the 1950s, Cuba's gross domestic product (GDP) per capita was roughly equal to that of Italy at the time"
Cuba GDP in 2015 = $87.13 billion USD
Italy GDP in 2015 = $1.8 trillion USD
"According to the International Labour Organization, the average industrial salary in Cuba was the world's eighth-highest in 1958, and the average agricultural wage was higher than some European nations."
