Fidel Castro has not been an obstacle to the normalization of Cuba's relations with the United States (Review)

Abstract

The objective of this article is to base the work of Fidel Castro to normalize Cuba's relations with the United States of America. It is argued that the bilateral historical conflict stems from the pretensions of that power to seize the Greater Antilles since the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th. In its essence, it is expressed as domination that characterizes the empire's intentions to exercise hegemony and the island's determination to achieve and maintain sovereignty. The Cuban leader strengthened the independence won in the historical struggle of his people, at the same time that he pointed out the way to make civilized ties between the two countries viable. Numerous exhibitions in highly relevant scenarios demonstrate the importance he attached to common links and their favorable impact in Latin America, the Caribbean and the world. At the same time, the effort to strengthen connections with the American people is evident. The truth is that during the years of the triumphant revolution, Fidel was always interested in advancing towards normal relations.
