CUBA HALL OF

The participation of the Cuban Republic in the Great Exhibition was initially quite uncertain, mainly due to the proximity of 98 and the country's political instability given by the rivalry between liberal and conservative parties that had led to the Liberals in 1906 to benefit from the amendment Platt U.S. request the imposition of a military administration, creating an unfavorable environment for participation in a contest that proclaimed the junction between the Hispanic peoples. It is therefore not surprising that the first invitation to the Cuban government in 1911, he replied in an evasive requesting more information before deciding.

The political environment had changed, when, after a few years, Cuba answered yes to the new invitation to participate in the Exhibition in September 1926. First decided to build a temporary flag, but later modified by a permanent and one temporary.

On December 22, 1927, the Cuban government enacted a law that is assigned weight passes 50,000 to cover the cost of its participation in the exhibition being extended this amount to 160,000 in early 1928. The Standing Committee gives a plot of 7,000 m2 located in the Avd de la Reina Victoria, next to the flag of the Dominican Republic, formalizing the delivery of land on June 9, 1928, of which 2,000 m2 and the rest would be built designed to cultivate gardens where tropical plants.
