History of Cuba (Cuban Escalation)

Aftermath (1962)
On the morning of November 1, fallout coming from the nuclear strikes on Miami arrived on the northeastern coast of the island, and on November 2, disappeared to the blowing winds. Raúl immeaditly put rationing on food and gasoline, as well as water. The Cuban Army quarentined the irradiated sites of Havana and Santiago de Cuba, and established some sort of order across the country. The American garrison at Guantánamo Bay, although not hit by an weapon, had lost all support from the Continental United States, and after an Cuban delegate reached the main gate, the garrison relunctantly agreed and joined the Cubans in their fight for survival, bringing new technologies to the Cubans.Cuba is one of the only communist nations on the planet, the other being the Socialist Republic of Siberia, to survive the "War". Although Havana and Santiago de Cuba were struck by nuclear weapons, the United States never planned for an massive nuclear bombardment on the island nation, mostly due to its proximity to the continental United States. Raúl Castro, who managed to escape the city of Havana by an mear three minutes, was able to keep order by deploying the remnants of the Cuban army, and the Soviet soldiers that are still trapped on the island due to either ships being destroyed, or without no home to go to.

In late December, Cuban scouts were sent to survey the southern portion of former Florida, and returned to report an sea of glass in what was Miami, and that the Key Wests was still intact, but without power. Raúl mobilized an small contigent of soldiers, and landed at the Key West. The locals, who thought the Cubans were invading, returned fired at the soldiers, but after telling them that there to bring the islands back under control, the leader of the survivors relunctantly agreed, and the former Americans were integrated into Cuban society, bring new foods such as cheeseburgers and fried chicken to the stores and resturants.
