Came across this yesterday. A 1922 Eastern Cuba Sugar Bond. 

When I come across things such as this, I enjoy googling up what was happening in Cuba at that time. 

Was there ever a peaceful time in Cuba?

Nope, started out unpeaceful pretty soon after Columbus entered....

(guess that was a rhetorical question...;))

That rhetorical question caused me to reflect, and remarkably there has been very little peace in Cuba since 1492. Arguably, the last 20 or so years has been the most stable, which is quite an amazing fact, although certainly nothing to aspire to in my opinion. Just goes to show how Cuba has been one of the most politically unstable and turmoil-filled places in the world (certainly the western world) for the last 500 years. Truly remarkable.
