Cuba was founded in 1496 when it was settled.
I hope that answered your question!! 😄
Why did many people leave Cuba in 1959 for the US?
The reason many people left was because Fidel Castro left the people oppressed, poor, and hungry. After he was done with them, they had no money (because he had changed the money currency so the money they had was worthless), and everyone worked for the government under harsh conditions.
