US history starts in 1776… So I’m starting comparative Cuban history at exact same point.
Comparing 70 years of history vs. 250 is ridiculous, don’t you agree? Of course the horrors of 250 years are greater than the horrors of 70 years.
Now, if topic is “US history starting in 1960s” you’d have a point, but OP said “US history”, which indicates to me that it started long before 1960.
In 1776, Cuba was a Spanish Colony, full of Spaniards and their slaves; it was Spaniard until almost 1900. So, it’s been Spaniard longer than it’s been “Cuba”. When comparing histories, leaving Spain out in this comparison would be stupid.
