May 20th, 2027

One hundred and twenty-four years ago today Cuba became a republic. Sadly, the status ended on New Year's Day,1959. Cuba has been under dictatorship for 67 years (fascism). What was once a an immensely prosperous nation, even before becoming a republic, has been completely destroyed and robbed by evil murderous thieves. It has become impoverished beyond recognition.

In 2027, it will be 125 years since the original establishment of the Republic of Cuba. As Cuban-Americans, many of us have the highest hope ever that our homeland will have the 1902 status restored soon, and onceagain May 20th will be celebrated. There will be a massive cloud of witnesses celebrating on that day with all of us who are still alive.

 

Cuba gained formal independence on May 20, 1902. The United States ended the military occupation and the young republic emerged under the presidency of Tomás Estrada Palma...(cri.fiu.edu).

Would we really be speaking German?

Sometimes people don't remember, or confuse history's timeline of events. I will use a WW II occurrence to make the point.

Hitler shot himself in the head, and took cyanide simultaneously on April 30, 1945, in his Berlin bunker. Why? The Russian forces were approaching. The Russians had already done much damage to the Nazis in 1942, in the Battle of Stalingrad.

Some say we'd all be speaking German if the Americans didn't get involved in the war. The reality is that we'd probably all be speaking Russian, if not.
