🇨🇺 🇩🇴 Maximo Gómez Báez (Baní, Dominican Republic, November 18, 1836 - Havana, Cuba, June 17, 1905) was a Dominican soldier of the Ten Years War and the general in chief of the Cuban revolutionary troops in the War of Cuban Independence. (Máximo Gómez Báez; Baní, Dominican Republic, 1836 - Havana, 1905) Military leader of the Cuban independence movement. Destined for an ecclesiastical career, Máximo Gómez changed the cassock for arms when the invasion of Santo Domingo by Haiti took place in 1855. In 1865 he went to Cuba and joined the nationalist movement against Spanish colonial domination. When the first war for Cuban independence broke out, the Ten Years' War (1868-78), Gómez fought alongside Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, rising through his military experience to command the forces of Oriente province. There he implemented an effective guerrilla tactic that gave him control of the region, but instead failed in his campaign to invade the western half of the island (1875). Driven by internal dissension, he left Cuba shortly before the Peace of Zanjón was signed (1878). Taking refuge in Honduras, where he was appointed Army General, Máximo Gómez supported a new insurrection attempt in Cuba, which also failed (the Little War of 1879-80). In 1892 he reached an agreement with José Martí and Antonio Maceo to organize a new insurrection, of which Gómez would be the military chief. José Martí died at the beginning of the War of Independence (1895-98), Gómez and Maceo led the rebel offensive from the east to the west of the island (1895-96); but they were defeated by the energetic policy with which the Spanish responded under the command of General Valeriano Weyler. The death of Antonio Maceo (1896) left Gómez alone at the head of the movement, again confined to the guerrilla struggle in the eastern mountains. Despite his weak military position, he refused any compromise with the Spanish, rejecting the autonomy plan offered by the Sagasta government (1898). The intervention of the United States expelled the Spanish from Cuba in 1898 by force of arms; and the new independent Republic had in Máximo Gómez its national hero, incarnation of the revolutionary struggle. However, Gómez came into conflict with the new political leaders and with the US intervention government, and resigned from command of the Army.

I'm glad you as a Dominican placed this true data on Cuba's independence, and I pledge for you to educate most of the Dominicans that think that Gomes was the one to liberate Cuba, and that if it wasn't for him the Cubans could not have done it. As you well know Maximo Gomez was involved in trying to liberate Cuba from the Spaniards, eventually at the end he couldn't complete his agenda, of course he was not the only General involved, at the end it was the U.S. the one to remove the Spanish military ending a long struggle for independence. One las t but most important of all that you and your people should know is that Cuba was filled with Spaniards, sons and grand sons of Spaniards, most of the young where harassed by their own family in that they where not to be involved in the rebel army against their own people which where the Spaniards being that said, what ended up happening was that there where not enough men to fight off the Spaniards so therefore Cuba ( The Mambises/Rebels) had to depend on others from other countries for help. I am writing this because I am a fourth generation of Spaniards, and of real 100% Spanish blood both of my family father and mother side where all Spanish. My great grand father was a Coronel and one of the military guards who protected the Queen of Spain, he later stayed and retired in Cuba, my father made sure that I new what really happened in the war and why most of the son's of Spaniards did not fight and it was do to the harassment and betraying the Spanish, in other words you would then become a trader. I then again would like for you to spread the word to those who think one thing when it is another.

For these they fight and kill; for these they persecute us and that is why we have to throw them into the sea.

There's really no way for a digital nomad or expat to live in Havana unless you are willing to pay above NYC or SF prices for food and everyday expenses. Housing can be found cheaply but not a the level of comfort or conveniences you are used to. I was going to stay longer and study Spanish at the University of Havana but changed my mind after a week here. The food situation is horrible and at nightclubs such as Mio y Tuyo the security guards actively will tell girls you are hanging out with to stay away from the foreigners. Not the case at LM nightclub luckily, which i highly recommend :). The main plus is that central Havana was super safe other than the occasion pickpocketing. An amazing experience but really not worth all the hassle and high cost of living. For a digital nomad or expat looking to stay a longer period of time in Latin America you can get the same experience and way cheaper albeit with alot more danger involved in Colombia.

REAL TALK!

[@wl5609]

I've been going to Havana for 2 month stays every 2 years since 2009 and have witnessed first-hand the changes. Especially with the introduction of cell phones. The prices have also steadily gone up and since the scamdemic and the abolishment of the CUC in 2018, the prices of the casas particulares have really skyrocketed! In 2009, a casa particular we always stay in, in downtown centro would cost us $25 CUC (USD) per night, and in 2018 it was $40 CUC. But right now the same room goes for $64 USD! The government, since the Castro regime has really dropped the ball on economics. There are now food shortages and 2 hour line ups for staples like cooking oil. Who knows where this is all going to end for Cubanos but they're a resilient group of survivors for sure...❤

In El Callejón de Hamil you will see the Afro-Cuban roots, the roots of most Cuban food except for Spain and the root of Cuban music. It is said that most Cubans including the whites have a little black in them/us. El Callejón also shows you the Cubans relation to the Yoruba people of Nigeria's culture and religion that came to Cuba during the slave trade. That gave rise to spiritualism and the still misunderstood Santeria in Cuba so a mix of Catholicism and the Yoruba religion. The use of honey is due to the shortage of sugar, not by choice, lol. Cuba doesn't produce it like it used to and still exports I guess more than it keeps.

[@drhistory3497]

@J C The relation between Cuba and PR is that both were colonized by Spain from the island of Santo Domingo or La Española, so basically DR is their mother land. 😅 The other bond is that Puerto Ricans copied the Cuban flag after they copied the Dominican flag, which they called the grito de lares flag.

The colonization of Florida By the early 1500s, Ponce de León was a top military official in the colonial government of 🇩🇴 Hispaniola, where he helped crush a rebellion of the native Taíno people. He became governor of the province of Higuey and had 3 children with a Taino women in the island of la Hispaniola or Santo Domingo He asked the Spanish Crown authorization to explore the neighboring island of Puerto Rico in 1508 and to take office as the first Governor of Puerto Rico by appointment of the Spanish crown in 1509. While Ponce de León grew quite wealthy from his plantations and mines, he faced an ongoing legal conflict with Diego Columbus, the late Christopher Columbus's son (in the Hispaniola or Santo Domingo, Alcazar de Colon, Colonial Zone) , over the right to govern Puerto Rico. After a long court battle, Columbus replaced Ponce de León as governor in 1511. Ponce de León decided to follow the advice of the sympathetic King Ferdinand and explore more of the Caribbean Sea. In 1513, Ponce de León led the first known European expedition to La Florida, which he named during his first voyage to the area. He landed somewhere along Florida's east coast, then charted the Atlantic coast down to the Florida Keys and north along the Gulf coast; historian John Reed Swanton believed that he sailed perhaps as far as Apalachee Bay on Florida's western coast.[7] Though in popular culture he was supposedly searching for the Fountain of Youth, there is no contemporary evidence to support the story, which all modern historians call a myth

That's in Cayo Hueso Neighborhood, like Key West in Florida. But still you are sending the wrong message to the world. You need to speak out for the Cuban people! You are having a good time with a little money and showing that life I'm Cuba is perfect! This is like a fake movie! Show the true, be an American!

The second Puerto Rican flag is a copy of the Cuban flag.The flag we know today was created in 1895 in #NewYork, by a group of #Puerto Ricans who, after the Grito de Lares event, continued their fight for the rights of Puerto Ricans residing on the Island, and who were victims of the abuses of the #Spanish Government, at that time. Before the Grito de Lares revolt occurred, in 1865, the Republican Society of Cuba and Puerto Rico had been formed in #NewYork. It was basically made up of #Puerto Ricans and Cubans in exile. The Puerto Ricans were led by Ramón Emeterio Betances and the Cubans by #JoséMartí. During a meeting in NY Puertorican revolutionaries met with some Cubans
