Havana, Cuba 1930s

[@flinx649]

Watching this in July of 2021... I'm an American and so wish that the Cuban people will take back their country and restore it to its earlier days...What a beautiful place and i say thank you to the wonderful Cuban people that have contributed so much to the American culture.

Que hermosa ciudad. Soy argentina. No sabia que Cuba era tan hermosa. Pero en realidad, no me sorprende para nada. Vivo en Los Angeles y los cubanos que conozco son un reflejo de la hermosa ciudad. Gente fina, culta que encajan perfectamente con una ciudad asi. Deseo de corazon que algun dia Cuba vuelva a ser lo que fue.

[@Havanasleo]

@Fluor66 Thank you. The city became even better, always in that european stile, until the plague arrived in 1959.

Conocí una señora Mexicana que visitó Cuba en la década de los cuarentas. Me acuerdo que me dijo que lo paso muy contenta en la Habana; la gente muy amable y disfruto su viaje. Preciosa arquitectura clásica.

[@armandoruiz4385]

La radio en Cuba comienza transmisiones en 1922. En 1928 Cuba tenía ya 61 EMISORAS DE RADIO, 43 de ellas en la Habana, ocupando el CUARTO LUGAR DEL MUNDO, superada solamente por E.U., Canadá y la Unión Soviética. Fue Cuba, la PRIMERA EN EL MUNDO en número de emisoras por número de habitantes y extensión territorial. En 1959 contaba con 161 estaciones de radio.

[@ivonotei]

to all those people who posted comments on cubans being racist towards black cubans, well as a white cuban let me say that we LOVE the black and mulato cubans the same. My best friend throughout my entire childhood was a black cuban. In cuba people dont diferenciate between races, its like one big family and we just see people as "Cuban" not by color. I cant speak for everyone but that is how it is in CUBA, not USA, its dif. here.

Este DIABLO nos destrozo la vida

[@henrypollack]

It is no exaggeration to state that during the 1950's, the Cuban people were among the most informed in the world, living in an uncharacteristically large media market for such a small country. Cubans had a choice of 58 daily newspapers during the late 1950's, according to the UN statistical yearbook. Despite its small size, this placed Cuba behind only Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico in the region. By 1992, government controls had reduced the number of dailies to only 17.

[@henrypollack]

Thank you so much for your kind comments about Cuba before the revolution. It is rare that anti-Castro Cubans get such nice and thoughtfull support as yours. Sometimes, we feel alone in this, thanks for showing us we are not completely alone!

[@Ben1238]

You know I went to film school down there in florida and I fell in love with the cuban population. Never have I met a more passionate people especially the cigar owners that are from Miami. As far as moving there i'm all for it and for having great neighbors.

[@ichlugner]

Great documentary! It's almost unbelievable that Havana was such a sophisticated city back then! But one thing I woukd like to point out, that whether it's because of tourist influx or whatever, the grandeur of Havana has been almost restored. It's pretty much the same now from historical point of view. But I admit that still there are many parts of the city that require attention.

[@commiessuckjaja]

Here's a UNESCO report on Cuba circa 1957: "One feature of the Cuban social structure is a large middle class," it starts. "Cuban workers are more unionized". The average wage for an 8-hour day in Cuba in 1957 is higher than for workers in Belgium, Denmark, France and Germany. Cuban labor receives 66.6 per cent of gross national income. In the U.S. the figure is 70 per cent, in Switzerland 64 per cent. 44 per cent of Cubans are covered by social legislation, a higher percentage than in the U.S."

[@rosadelamanecer1]

Esto es como un viaje el una nave del PASADO

[@commiessuckjaja]

Cuban women got three months of paid maternity leave. I repeat, this was in the 1930s. Cuba, a country 71 percent white in 1957, was completely desegregated 30 years before Rosa Parks was dragged off that Birmingham bus and handcuffed. In 1958 Cuba had more female college graduates per capita than the U.S.

[@ivonotei]

[@ivonotei]

Cuba era, como se decia en esos tiempos, UNA TACITA DE ORO, entonces todo el que tenia medios, iba a Cuba a iniciar su negocio, cosa que daba trabajo a muchisima gente, y asi ocurria con muchas familias cubanas pudientes, que tambien tenian sus negocios. Eran fabricas, grandes monopolios, industrias de todo tipo, en fin, todo tipo de negocios que hacian de la vida del cubano de entonces, algo agradable, tenian trabajo, tiendas, bodegas y almacenes repletos de todo tipo de mercancias, lo mismo ropa, que tela, articulos domesticos, en fin, de todo. Habia pobreza, por supuesto, como en todos los paises del mundo, litigios politicos, gobiernos de quita y pon, golpes de estado, y gente rebelde que protestaba, quemaba guaguas, hacia marchas, etc. COMO EN TODOS LADOS DEL PLANETA. Llego la desgracia desde la Sierra Maestra a formar el caos con la promesa de que todo seria para el pueblo, hubo intervenciones, nacionalizaciones, gente sin trabajo, LOS GRANDES CAPITALISTAS SE FUERON DEL PAIS Y AQUELLO FUE LO MAS HORRIBLE QUE PUDO SUCEDER JAMAS. EL ESTADO, PROMETIENDO VILLAS Y CASTILLAS, ENGAÑO Y TRAICIONO AL PUEBLO QUE LO ACLAMO. y aquellos negocios, al pasar al Estado, con interventores que llegaron a todo lo nacionalizado e intervenido a LLEVARSE TODO LO QUE PODIAN, pero resulto que fue peor el remedio que la enfermedad. Conclusion: Que es Cuba en ese sentido hoy en dia? TODO VOLVIO A LA EDAD DE PIEDRA....

@Nigralurker Or the fact that Cuba was under an economic and trade blockade, orchestrated by the US and was constantly being threatened with invasion and even by nuclear attack. I'd want a strong deterrent in that situation. Btw the USSR only backed down in Cuba, when the US agreed to stop deploying missiles on the USSR border, in Turkey...

[@henrypollack]

The health care system is often touted by many analysts as one of the Castro government's greatest achievements. What this analysis ignores is that the revolutionary government inherited an already-advanced health sector when it took power in 1959.

[@commiessuckjaja]

In 1958 Cuba had a higher per-capita income than Austria and Japan. Cuban industrial workers had the eighth-highest wages in the world. In the 1950s Cuban stevedores earned more per hour than their counterparts in New Orleans and San Francisco. Cuba had established an eight-hour workday in 1933 -- five years before FDR's New Dealers got around to it. Add to this a one-month paid vacation. The much-lauded (by liberals) social democracies of Western Europe didn't manage this till 30 years later.

[@patrickmccarron5059]

Cuba was such a nice place before Castro.

[@lasuperchica59]

For some, yes. Certainly the tourists that used it as their playground and the richer white Cubans and a few, select others. Most of the black population was impoverished. Or do you think Castro won because the populace was so happy and faithful to the existing regime under Batista, aka. El Carnicero (The Butcher)? Is Cuba right today? Nope. Lots of problems. But it was no panacea before Castro either. Nothing is ever that simple.

[@patrickmccarron5059]

*****, Cuba is a disaster zone. Socialism is a system of failure and robs people of their freedom, property, and creativity. It is a horrible system to be forced to live under. Communist Germany was held in by a wall. Communist Cuba is held in by shark infested Atlantic Ocean. Escape is not easy, especially now that America has a policy of returning Cubans attempting to escape and caught at sea. Don't see any Americans trying to escape to Cuba, not even the poor in Haiti have any desire to escape to Cuba. It is a miserable place to live.

[@Charlescarey994]

En La Habana había una docena de casinos, y el país tenía un bajísimo índice de enfermedades venéreas, lo que demuestra que no podía ser un prostíbulo de nadie. No obstante, como viejo y activo puerto de mar, la capital tenía una zona de tolerancia semejante (aunque menor) que la que hay en Barcelona. El turismo de EEUU, por otra parte, solía ser familiar.

Lo que sucedio en Cuba es una tragedia que ha durado demasiados años. Es el cancer que ha destruido mi patria, y continua haciendo estragos. Eso es lo que usted encuentra chistoso?

[@marcokull]

I'm not talking about the politics of it, so please hold the "marxist" stuff. I'm talking about the realities of being a cuban in cuba, and living every day, which is significantly better as an average than in many countries in the world. I cannot truly speak about whether education and health care is world class - I'm sure it's far from that - but it is a fact that everyone has access to it. There are no, and I repeat, no starving people. And I say that being in Havana at this very moment. .

Cuba's exports in 1958 far exceeded those of Chile and Colombia, countries which have since left Cuba behind. The lack of diversification of Cuba's exports over the past 35 years also is remarkable, when compared with other countries in the region.

If you tour Havana today, you'll get taken to see all these same sights. And most of them look the same now as they did then, although much of Havana is very rundown. Almost no new large buildings have been built since 1958, so the old buildings haven't been replaced. You won't see any well-stocked store windows today, like at 3:52, nor any of the large signs. The USS Maine monument is still there, but the American eagle at the top (6:14) was symbolically demolished in the early '60s.
