It has been approximately sixty years since the U.S. Government imposed economic sanctions on the Cuban Government. The initial trigger was the decision to respond to the expropriations carried out by the Cuban State of companies belonging to U.S. citizens or companies, a process that intensified at the end of June 1960 and led to a harsh confrontation during the second half of 1960. The fundamental reason for imposing the sanctions, however, was to provoke a change of political regime in Cuba and to impose an additional cost on the Soviet Union for its decision to support the revolutionary government in Cuba, which had come to power in January 1959. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version) ; Hace aproximadamente sesenta años que el Gobierno de Estados Unidos impuso sanciones económicas sobre el Gobierno de Cuba. El detonante inicial fue la decisión de responder a las expropiaciones realizadas por el Estado cubano de empresas pertenecientes a ciudadanos o empresas estadounidenses, proceso que se agudiza a fin de junio de 1960 y conlleva a un duro enfrentamiento durante el segundo semestre de 1960. La razón fundamental para imponer las sanciones, sin embargo, fue provocar un cambio de régimen político en Cuba e imponerle un coste adicional a la Unión Soviética por su decisión de respaldar al gobierno revolucionario en Cuba, que había llegado al poder en enero de 1959.
