Samenvatting
Excerpt from The Early History of Cuba City: 1492-1586
This book is the history of Cuba from its discovery by Columbus in 1492, through the year 1586, when Sir Francis Drake, in sailing along the north shore of the island after his successful raid on other Spanish settlements of the West Indies, closed the first era of the colony's history. In that raid "the great corsair" demonstrated that Britannia ruled the waves of the Spanish main and that to hold possession of its shores and islets the Catholic King must enable his colonies there to defend themselves since his humbled navy was no longer equal to the task. Immediately Philip acted and there arose great forts, in Havana as elsewhere, which are enduring monuments to Draque, hated by Spaniards to this day In the safe shadow of these forts, industry and agriculture began to develop and, thanks especially to sugar and to copper, Cuba ceased to be a mere wayport of empire between the peninsula of Spain and the American continents: she came to be prized not only because of her geographical position (of great strategic importance) but also upon her own account for her own inherent worth.
