Question 7 • MCPSS AL-Grade 6 United States Studies: The Industrial Revolution to the Present - Summer School 2026

Which statement best describes a primary cause of the Cuban Revolution?

Answer
A
Many Cuban citizens were in exile in the US.
B
There was a large gap between the rich and the poor in Cuba.
C
The CIA and the US military supported a change in the Cuban government.
D
The majority of Cuban citizens believed in the need for democratic reforms.

Explanation

A major cause of the Cuban Revolution was severe inequality: wealth and land were concentrated among a small, wealthy group, while many Cubans lived in poverty. This large gap between rich and poor fueled anger toward the government and support for revolution. Exile and U.S. involvement were connected to events around the revolution, but they do not best describe this primary cause.
