The Cuban Annexation War (Zoobaby101)

The Cuban Annexation War was a 3 year conflict which occurred in the Caribbean Sea from 2044 until 2047 It was fought between Cuba, and The Allied Caribbean Nations (Haiti, Jamaica, The Dominican Republic, and Belize).

Events of the War
In the early 2040s, Cuba was lagging behind the rest of the world economically. With a strong global decline in socialist policies since World War III, many nations were converting to extreme open market policies. This included Cuba's biggest trade partner Venezuela, who had just experienced a Free Market Revolution. Venezuela eventually cut off its economic ties with Cuba because of this, Which led to a breakdown of the Cuban economy. By 2043, many other Cuban trade partners had done the same. Cuba was on the verge of collapse, and turned to its last resort in keeping the economy alive, which was expanding its territory.

In January, 2044. Cuba launched a full scale invasion on Haiti, and successfully annexed nearly half of its total area. The Haitians began fighting the Cubans and thus The Cuban Annexation War had begun.

By 2045, Haiti was on the verge of losing all its territory, which convinced its closest allies The Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and Belize to intervene.

The 3 nations entered Haiti and began to push back the Cubans.

By 2047, Cuba was kicked out of Haiti and was forced to sign a treaty of surrender.

In 2048, The Cuban economy crumbled and The Republic of Cuba eventually collapsed. The Democratic Republic of Cuba was soon founded in its place, which erased Cuba's status as a Communist State.
