Question

Which country took Cuba's exports of sugar prior to 1959?

O United States
O Soviet Union
0 Spain
O France​

Answer 1

Answer:

Until the 1960s, the US received 33% of its sugarcane imports from Cuba. During the cold war, Cuba's sugar exports were bought with subsidies from the Soviet Union. After the collapse of this trade arrangement, coinciding with a collapse in sugar prices, two thirds of sugar mills in Cuba closed.
