After the Spanish/American War of 1898 a Lease Deal between Cuba and the United States was made. In 1903 Cuba allowed the United States to rent Guantanamo Bay, and surrounding areas for the amount of only $2,000 per year. The lease period is forever as long as the U.S. makes the annual payment. Since Fidel Castro took power in 1959. he has refused to cash any of the rent checks. Although Guantanamo Bay is not a territory of the United States. it is a U.S. Military Base and is defended in the same manner as all U.S. Military Bases around the world.
