The second period, colonial Cuba, begins in 1492, when Christopher Columbus sighted the island during his first voyage of discovery. Cuba subsequently became a Spanish colony, and remained so until the Spanish-American War of 1898.

  • The history of Cuba could be divided into four general time periods. The first period being the pre-colonial era, when Cuba was inhabited by Amerindian peoples known as the Taíno and Ciboney. The second period, colonial Cuba, begins in 1492, when Christopher Columbus sighted the island during his first voyage of discovery. Cuba subsequently became a Spanish colony, and remained so until the Spanish-American War of 1898. The third period, republican Cuba, follows Cuba's formal independence in 1902, and is characterised by the island's close association with the United States. The fourth period follows the Cuban revolution of 1959 led by Fidel Castro and the transformation of Cuba into a declared socialist republic.
