History of the U.S embassy and consulates in Havana

The U.S. and Cuba have a long and often contentious history, marked by the Cuban Revolution and the subsequent severing of diplomatic ties in 1961. For decades, a U.S. Interests Section operated in Havana, rather than a full embassy. In 2015, diplomatic relations were re-established, and the U.S. Embassy in Havana officially reopened. This marked a significant shift, although the relationship remains complex, focusing on limited engagement and humanitarian issues.
