Explanation:

After the arrival of the colonizer Christopher Columbus in 1492, Cuba was conquered by Spain, it was the first country to own the land. Later on, in 1762, British forces seized the city of Havana (and also Spain's naval base), but only for a year until it was returned to Spain. It was not until 1902 that the island became an independent country.
