Summary "The History of Cuba, vol. 2" by Willis Fletcher Johnson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume continues to explore significant events and figures that shaped Cuba's past, specifically in the context of European colonialism, trade, and internal governance. The text likely analyzes periods of political intrigue, economic changes, and cultural developments in the island nation. At the start of this work, the author discusses the impact of the Treaty of Utrecht, which ushered in a new era of peace yet sowed the seeds for future conflicts due to commercial rivalry among European powers. Francisco de Arango y Parreño is introduced as a key historical figure who advocated for agricultural and educational reforms, emphasizing Cuba's socio-economic enhancements. Additionally, the narrative dives into the complexities of the slave trade, smuggling operations, and the struggles for improved governance amidst local political turmoil. This foundational context sets the stage for understanding Cuba's trajectory into modernity as detailed throughout the volume. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
