TEXT III
TRANSCEDENCE OF THE TRAGIC.

The tragedy of American diplomacy is aptly symbolized by the relations between the
USA and Cuba from April 1898 through April 1961. The eruption of two wars
involving the same two countries is often associated with tragedy.
After three years of pressure culminating in an ultimatum, the USA declared war
against Spain. The generally avowed objectives were to free Cuba from Spanish
tyranny, to establish and underwrite the independence of the island, and to initiate
and sustain its development toward political democracy and economic welfare.
During the subsequent 63 years, the USA exercised continuous, extensive influence
in and over all aspects of Cuban affairs. This ongoing intervention produced some
positive results and Cuba enjoyed slow and sporadic economic development. A
modest number of Cubans improved their personal and group economic welfare.
Furthermore, some of the forms and mechanism of representative government were
established and legalized, and some of the resulting institutions put out shallow roots
into Cuban thoughts and culture. Reform was instituted that helped stabilize Cuban
politics and contributed to the elementary and routine kind of law and order
necessary for moderately efficient economic activity. The Cubans were encouraged
to define their future in terms of the kind of democracy and prosperity provided in
the USA.
