ELI5: Why did Cuba, a country which had bitter relationship with US, allowed it to build a Military base in Guantanamo Bay?
Because it used to have a government much more friendly with the U.S. After the base was built, there was a revolution and the Communist government it has today took over.

Its important to be generous where you can however you can. More on reddit.com
