"The History of Cuba, vol. 2" by Willis Fletcher Johnson is a historical exploration that examines Cuba's past through the lenses of European colonialism, trade, and internal governance. This volume studies the political games, financial shifts, and cultural growth of the island, starting with the Treaty of Utrecht and its effects that sparked future battles because of European countries competing in business. Francisco de Arango y Parreño, a major character who stood up for better farming and schools, pushing for Cuba's economic and social progress is showcased. Stories of the slave trade, secret smuggling, and the hard push for better government during times of local political chaos are uncovered. Together, these stories prepare the reader to understand how Cuba moved into the modern era.
