From Empire to Hegemony: The Dynamics of US. Relations with Cuba and Mexico, 1930-1 940 Cari Fournier The history of US. relations with Cuba and Mexico has always been complicated by differtng political, adtural, social, and economic systems in addition to geographic proximity. The major difierence be-n the 1930s and the eariier and later periods was that t!!e US.government decided to change the nature and practice d its relationship with Latin America in resQonse to domestic American pressure and anti-American resentrnent in the region. The U.S. government ended its policy of political interference and amed intervention in the intemal affairs of both Cuba and Mexico, but wanted to retain its large mornic and investment stake in the two countries. It also responded to the dislocations produceci by the Great Depression in al1 three cwntries: increased nationalism and political..eeonomic palafizatim. ttie &jedive of this Wsis is fourfold: to examine the dynamics of the U.S. relatiomhip with Cuba and Mexico to determine uhtwrnpelled the U.S. gavemmto end the pradices of 'empire" in its relations with the fiJK) nations; 2) to imestigate the exercise of 'hegemong in US. dations with the Wm cwntnes ta ascertain Hihether it was direntfrom 'empimw;3) to study îhe intemal political, sacial and ecomrnic devefopmentsof bath Cuba and Mexico in Vie 1930s that allWthe USshii fmm empire to hegemony; and 4) to explain how the impact of the onset of the Second Wodd War consolidated the Amencan adoption of hegemony. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS f irst of all, I wuld like to thank my thesis supervisor, Dr. Frank Chalk Dr. Chalk has been a patient, helpful and supportive supervisor. He has read every draft of the thesis and has akysoffered me thoughtful, critical and valuable adviœ on how to improve my prose and focus my analysis. I cannot daim to have been an ideal student to wrk with, but I know that this thesis is better because of Dr. ChalKs help at every stage fiom inception to completion. I'd tike to thank Professor Carolyn Fick for being a superb second reader of this thesis. Her critiques and suggestions helped me fows on the comparative nature of the project in order to appreciate the differences and simiiarities between Cuba and Mexico. She was also invaluable as a Latin Americanist who lent her assistance to a novice in the field trying to understand the larger picture. 1 am grateful to Donna Whittaker, the former History Department Graduate Secretary, for her help and support. There were many times vvhen I was discouraged, but Donna made me see the importance of my project, and encouraged me to continue. I -nt ta thank the staff at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library in Hyde Park, New York for their assistance during my trip th- hm7 December to 11 December 1998. They provided me 4th an excellent understanding of how an archive operates and their prafessionalism is a eredit to arehivists evmere. Friends and associates, inside and outside of the University, also provided assistance with their ideas and support I'd like to thank: Oorr Coiiymore, Jamie Troini, Richard Deschamps, Elizabeth Cabral-Troini, Rick Ouranœau, Eric Marquis and Ken McMurray for ali the joys and warm embraces of fnendship. My mother, Lyn Foumier, and sister, Christi Fournier, have supported me from the beginning of this project They provided critical and interested ears and eyes to test my oft-times turgid prose and analysis. They also gave me the love that I needed to keep working through long hours of researching, writing and editing. Lastly, I would like to dedicate my thesis to the memory of my father, Guy Fournier, who died dunng the course of the research. He supported me in al1 aspects of my life and never hesitated to tell me when I had screwed up or when I had succeeded. My life is richer because of my father, and I will always cherish the many lessons about iife and other things that he taught me. DEOlCATlON This thesis is dedicated to the memory of my father, Guy Fournier (1940- 1999). Thank you for al1 the love and support you gave me. This thesis is a small token of my recognition and appreciation of everything you did for me. This work could never have been undertaken without your help. Walt Whitman said it best, 'O Captain! my captain! our fearful trip is done". God bless and keep you, and farewll, old man.

Geography has also been a problem as bath Cuba and Mexico are the Mm Latin American nations closest to the United States. Moreover, the US. has invaded both muntries at one time or another during the past tiJuo hundred years. In the 1930s the U.S. govemment ckided to change its relationship with Latin America in general and with Cuba and Mexico in mcular. There were four reasons for this change. The first was to counierad the grAng powr and attraction of Latin Amencan nationaiism in order to maintain U.S.econmic and political interests in the region. The sscand was to abandon old practices and ideas in its relations that wre counterproductive and to articulate new ones. The third was to allw the United States to participate in international affairs in response to isolationism at home and depression and war in the larger world. The fourîh was to prevent latin American connections wiai extra-hemispheric Gountries which wwld #maten US. secunty and interests in the region. U.S. relations with Cuba in 1930 were complicated because the isiand had been an American protedorate hm1898 ta 1902, and a client state since 1903. Cuba was minally an independent nation, but its constitution contained the Platt Ammiment which allWthe United States to intervene in Cuba if the govemment was unable to pfeserve life, liberty and propwty. The U.S. had intervened on four dirent occasions sinœ Cuban independence in 1902. In 1930, the US. bdieved that the Cuban president, General Gerardo Machado, was able to protect U.S. interests and investments on the isiand. Machado ms supporteci by the Cuûan am. This belief in Cuban 9tabil.w viras tested during the 19303 as Cuba succurnbed to political revolution which challengecl U.S. imperiaI control. The U.S. mnduding that impen'al eoritral was no longer a viable option, allowd the removal of Machado, the old amy leadership and eventually, the old political class. The abrogation of the Platt Amendment in 1934 was also a means to initiate a new political relationship between the tHio nations. The U.S. was not as willing to abandon its ecanamic control over the island. The wndusion of a Reciprocal Trada Agreement in 1934 with the United States undemined limited Cuban efforts at eamomic diversification and condemned the island to a monoculture system dependent on the gmwth and export of sugar and tobacco. Having eliminated the counterproductive aspeds of its unequal relâtionship with Cuba, aie U.S. emerged a net gainer as World War II enipted in Europe. U.S. relations with Mexico in 19% wre also cornplex The U.S. graduaily abandoned the overt practices of imperialism in its relations witti its southern neighbour. The occasional invasions of Mexican territory and U.S. govemment demands that the Mexican govemment show respect for US. investments and interests in Mexico wre increasingty unproductive as the US.pursued better relations with Mexico. This change did not diminate points of contention betwieen the tiriJo nations as Mexico was in the pracess of cansolidating and institutiwializing a revoiution vlrhich began in 1910.

The Is/enos had very few weapons, and some served unarmed as the state provided no firearms. By the time the British were defeated, the Islenos had sustained the brunt of life and property loss resulting from the British invasion of Louisiana. 1838 The first.

  • Analyzing the U.S. Embargo on Cuba: a Search for a Better Solution
    Analyzing the US Embargo of Cuba: A Search for a Better Solution Zion Mercado HON 490- Senior Honors Seminar May 17, 2021 1 Chapter 1 Introduction: In 1959, at the height of the Cold War, Fidel Castro seized control of Cuba from a totalitarian dictatorship headed by Fulgencio Batista, an individual who lacked domestic support from the Cuban people. However, what Bautista lacked in popularity on the island was not missing in regard to his foreign popularity, especially when it came to the United States1. In fact, the United States supported Fulgencio Batista for two major reasons. The first being that he peacefully overthrew the government, which subsequently allowed him to run for presidential election unopposed, ratifying the Cuban Constitution from 1940 in the process2. Secondly, the United States supported the Batista regime in large part because it was very much anti-socialist and anti-Marxist. However, to the Batista government, the support from the U.S. came at a high cost as they effectively destroyed Cuba’s lucrative sugar industry through the Sugar Act of 19563. It was this destruction of Cuba’s agricultural industry that paved the way to the rise of Fidel Castro. Initially, Castro was not a Marxist, despite having friendly ties to the Soviet Union. However, the revolution that he led in Cuba was a leftist one, and upon his arrival to power, he began to nationalize American-owned infrastructure without providing compensation. Essentially, Castro wanted Cuba to be free economically from America4, whereas at the same 1 Guevara, D. J. F. (2019).

  • The Cuban Missile Crisis and Its Effect on the Course of Détente
    1 THE CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS AND ITS EFFECT ON THE COURSE OF DÉTENTE 2 Abstract The Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union began in 1945 with the end of World War II and the start of an international posturing for control of a war-torn Europe. However, the Cold War reached its peak during the events of the Cuban Missile Crisis, occurring on October 15-28, 1962, with the United States and the Soviet Union taking sides against each other in the interest of promoting their own national security. During this period, the Soviet Union attempted to address the issue of its own deficit of Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles compared to the United States by placing shorter-range nuclear missiles within Cuba, an allied Communist nation directly off the shores of the United States. This move allowed the Soviet Union to reach many of the United States’ largest population centers with nuclear weapons, placing both nations on a more equal footing in terms of security and status. The crisis was resolved through the imposition of a blockade by the United States, but the lasting threat of nuclear destruction remained. The daunting nature of this Crisis led to a period known as détente, which is a period of peace and increased negotiations between the United States and the Soviet Union in order to avoid future confrontations. Both nations prospered due to the increased cooperation that came about during this détente, though the United States’ and the Soviet Union’s rapidly changing leadership styles and the diverse personalities of both countries’ individual leaders led to fluctuations in the efficiency and extent of the adoption of détente.

Existing scholarship explains Haitians’ movements in terms of the United States’ military presence in Haiti (1915- 1934), the country’s rural poverty, and the massive growth of U.S.- and Cuban-owned sugar plantations in Cuba. However, the migrants themselves have not been studied. Instead, previous scholarship puts forth an image of Haitian migrants that is heavily influenced by false, long- standing assumptions about Haiti and the anti-immigrant stereotypes of the early 20th-century Cuban press.

  • Haitians' Labor and Leisure on Cuban Sugar Plantations: the Limits of Company Control Alejo Carpentier's 1927 Novel

(2002:18, 21, 52, 65-66), describes rural Cuba during World War I as a place in which “life is orga- nized according to [sugar’s] will.”1 One effect of sugar production was the “new plague” of “ragged Haitians” or “black mercenaries with straw hats and machetes at their belts.” When not cutting cane, these immigrants seques- tered themselves in their barracones (labor barracks), the “stone construc- tions, long like a hangar, with iron window panes” that were originally built for slaves to inhabit. Haitians and other immigrants were the targets of scorn from Carpentier’s protagonist, Menegildo Cue, an Afro-Cuban individual who drove oxen on the local sugar plantation. He “felt strange among so many blacks with other customs and languages. The Jamaicans were ‘snobby’ and animals! The Haitians were animals and savages!” Cue also complained that Cubans “were without work since the braceros from Haiti accepted incredibly low daily wages!” As Carpentier’s text emphasizes, the arrival of Haitian laborers in eastern Cuba in the first half of the twentieth century was part and parcel of massive rural transformations as a result of the rapid growth of sugar production on the island.
