analysis: The text appears to be a historical account of the economic sanctions and trade restrictions imposed by the United States on Cuba. It mentions various events, such as the naval blockade, trade embargoes, and restrictions on travel and financial transactions. The text also touches on the impact of these sanctions on Cuba's economy, including the introduction of diseases and the decline of its agricultural sector. Given the focus on economic sanctions and their effects, it is likely that the text falls under the category of international trade and economic development.
