After reviewing the article links below, answer the following questions with a 500-700 word essay: https://history.state.gov/milestones/1937-1945/mexican-oil http://global.oup.com/us/companion.websites/9780195375701/pdf/SPD7_Nationalization_Mex_Oil.pdf http://en.granma.cu/cuba/2015-08-10/cuba-nationalizes-us-companies On March 18, 1938, President Lazaro Cardenas took a bold stand against foreign oil interests and nationalized the petroleum industry, effectively revoking the Bucareli agreements and fully implementing Article 27 of the Constitution of 1917. On August 6, 1960, Fidel Castro did the same thing, nationalizing US companies operating in Cuba, announcing the implementation of Law no. 851. Questions:1) After reading about the circumstances behind their decisions, do you think Cardenas made the right decision? Why or why not? Did Castro make the right decision? Why or why not?2) Why did the US react differently towards Mexico in 1938 than it did towards Cuba in 1960?3) How does nationalization of industries–in this case petroleum–fit within the revolutionary ideals of both anti-communist Mexico and communist Cuba? 5 paragraph paper typed (arial or new times roman), 1.5 spaced with 12-point font.
