Cuba is one of the few remaining communist states left in the world, meaning that the government is quite in control of almost anything that happens on the island.

In order to understand why there are so many rules and regulations surrounding remittance of money to anywhere in Cuba, one must take a moment to consider its history and current state.

Before the 1950s, Cuba was under the control of the United States. However, in 1959, the control was overthrown during a revolution led by Fidel Castro. After that time, Castro took total control of Cuba and created a very strict communist state.

In 1962, the United States entered a confrontation between itself, Cuba and the Soviet Union. Called the Cuban Missile Crisis because for thirteen days, there was the threat of Castro sending a barrage of missiles aimed at the United States, the issue was quite volatile. Because of this event, the United States placed many embargos on the island, many of which still stand today.
