Did latin america/cuba lose out money because of communism?

!

Cuba and the rest of the Latin American countries that had communism had different developments. Cuba did not lose any money because of communism, the nations was actually developing at a good rate, and was also supported by the Soviet Union during its existence. The nations was stable, the economy was relatively good, and there was constant slight progress, so when compared with the rest of the Latin American countries, it seems that the communism was actually good for Cuba.

The same can not be said about the rest of the Latin American countries that tried to adopt the communism. They had terrible, bad planned politics which was ruining their economies. Also, the US had multiple interventions that further put them in bigger economic troubles, so we can comfortably say that they lost a lot of money, and were also set back in their development.

by 1890, the united states had by far the world's most productive economy. american industry produced twice as much as its closest competitor--britain. but the united states was not a great military or diplomatic power. its army numbered less than 30,000 troops, and its navy had only about 10,000 seamen. britain's army was five times the size of its american counterpart, and its navy was ten times bigger. the united states' military was small because the country was situated between two large oceans and was surrounded by weak or friendly nations. it faced no serious military threats and had little interest in asserting military power overseas.
