In class/homework: Cuba, Guatemala, and 3 Castro quotes

Date assigned
Thursday, May 23


Assignment
Read the packet about the US coup in Guatemala in 1954.  Then read the following Fidel Castro quotes:

“If there ever was in the history of humanity an enemy who was truly universal, an enemy whose acts and moves trouble the entire world, threaten the entire world, attack the entire world in any way or another, that real and really universal enemy is precisely Yankee imperialism.”

“The ever more sophisticated weapons piling up in the arsenals of the wealthiest and the mightiest can kill the illiterate, the ill, the poor and the hungry, but they cannot kill ignorance, illness, poverty or hunger.”

“No state should pretend to have the right to starve another people to death.  That is turning a nation into a ghetto and imposing on it a new version of the Holocaust.”


Consider the quotes, the reading on Guatemala, and what we've studied about Cuba.  Write at least a page answering the following question:  Do you agree or disagree with Castro?
