Well, the story doesn't end with the extinction of the Taíno Indians. On July 25, 1898, the United States invaded Puerto Rico and Cuba by surprised and took the two gorgeous islands from the Spaniards.


Later, Cuba got the freedom with Fidel Castro, Batista, and Chevara. I'm sure that you already know about the alliances with Russia and the political status throughout decades with the Cubans.

As Puerto Rico is a Commonwealth of United States; the nature of Puerto Rico's political relationship with the United States is the subject of ongoing debate in the island and also in the United Nations for many decades.

As a result, we are United States citizens; our currency is the dollar, laws, some holidays and customs from United States. The few remains from Spain are the language, religion, some customs, and traditions.
