As a congressman, senator and presidential candidate who was also the island’s most popular radio commentator, Chibás was afforded an excellent opportunity to alter government policy and shape public opinion. -
Part IV Fat Cows and Lean Cows
Part IV Fat Cows and Lean Cows The First World War caused Cuba’s single-crop economy to undergo a dramatic rise with the price of sugar in world markets, a trend that was dramatically reversed with the end of the conflict. This period became known as one of vacas gordas y vacas flacas, the years of fat and lean cattle after the Old Testament prophecy of seven years of abundance followed by an equal time of privations. The windfall and slump economy along with the growing inequity between rich and poor was fertile ground for popular discontent and radical politics. The modernization that was the hallmark of the republican years extended to the sugar plantations. Electricity, an important new element of the urban grid and a source of energy for mills created a growing dependence on the privately owned electricity companies. By the 1920s, major stockholders of these companies such as President Gerardo Machado and millionaire Laureano Falla enjoyed a dramatic concentration of wealth thanks in part to the low rates to power their mills. In 1903 Ramon Mendoza founded the Cuban Automobile Club along with a group of friends. The organization sponsored the first professional races in Havana. Set in the city, the races underscored the glamour of the car and heralded their popularity as a means of transportation to such places as the resorts and subdivisions that were sprouting up west of the city. These, along with the first bridge that made possible for cars to cross of the Almendares River, were among Ramon’s key investments. -

Presentacion
SÍMBOLOS NACIONALES DE LA REPÚBLICA DE CUBA ~ PRESENTACION La Academia de Ciencias de Cuba presenta, con genuina satisfacción, este nuevo Atlas Nacional de Cuba, resultado del trabajo creador de un numeroso grupo de instituciones científicas del país, cuya publicación, en vísperas de/ XXX Aniversario del triunfo de la Revolución Cubana. simboliza el :;aludo de los científicos cubanos a tan destacada fecha. Cuba fue, desde tempranas épocas, objeto de profundo interés para cartógrafos y navegantes por su peculiar posición geográfica. A ello debemos unir que las bondades del clima, la riqueza de su flora y de su fauna y otros factores naturales que caracterizan a nuestro temtorio por su ubicación entre los dos continentes americanos motivaron también el interés cient(fico de numerosos naturalistas cubanos y extranjeros. Sin embargo, el desarrollo económico y social de Cuba durante /a etapa colonial y la de la república neocolonial que le sucediera no estuvo en correspondencia con las ventajas que ofrecía el medio natural. Fue precisamente el triunfo revolucionario del Primero de Enero de 1959 el que rompe con la situación de estancamiento político y social, lo que permite diversificar la economía, desa1Tol/ar una adecuada inj"raestructura económica y transformar el medio geográfico en función de satisfacer las necesidades del pueb(o cubano. El profundo proceso de transformación social alcanzó, por supuesto, a la reducida comunidad científica cubana. Se desa1To/laron numerosos centros de investigación, entre ellos el lnstituto de Geografía. creado en 1962, una de cuyas primeras tareas lo constituyó la realización de/ primer Atlas Nacional de Cuba, editado en 1970 como resultado de la labor desarrollada por un pequeño grupo de geógmfos y cartógrafos cubanos y soviéticos.
