- Cuba
- Visited by Christopher Columbus in 1492, it was a Spanish colony until 1898 when the Spanish were overthrown following a revolution under José Martí supported by the United States. Independence followed in 1902. A struggle against the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista y Zaldivar led by Fidel Castro Ruz was successful in 1959 and a Communist state was established.
The first postage stamps were issued under Spanish Dominion in 1855.
