The short version of Guantanamo Bay is that Cuba used to be a U.S. territory, taken after the Spanish American war along with Puerto Rico, and Guam...and Spains pride...well, Cuba eventually went her own way while the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay stayed where it was, and the U.S. paid to rent the land. But then - revolucion! And disagreement between Cuba and the U.S. over the rent, leading to the current awkward situation where the U.S. says to Cuba, Thank you for renting us this land! and Cuba says ...we didnt rent you that land... and the U.S. says Heres our rent payment! and Cuba says ...we dont accept that...please leave? and the U.S. says ...Thank you for renting us this land! -CGP Grey
