The Banana Wars - Cuba

Aug 2, 2021

This episode reviews the Marines in Cuba. This operation was a massive undertaking for the Marine Corps. At the height of the Cuban Intervention, about a third of all Marines were on the island. Towards the end of the episode, we discuss the end of the Platt Amendment, the reason we were in Cuba in the first place, and start looking at problems in Nicaragua.
