The question therefore remains unanswered after sixty-five years: Where is the treaty of unuion? By Professor Louis Mbua
Empires rise. Empires decline. But history remembers. And history eventually asks every empire the same question: Was the wealth worth the cost? The answer may determine how future generations remember Britain—not as Britain remembers itself, but as the world remembers it.

No one can say with certainty what will happen in Cuba over the coming months or years. The government may survive and reform. It may negotiate a gradual opening.
