## Information

Havana, Cuba in the second half of the 1940s and the 1950s was a vibrant and bustling city that was experiencing a period of rapid growth and development. At the time, Cuba was one of the most prosperous and cosmopolitan countries in Latin America, with a strong economy fueled by its sugar industry, and a vibrant cultural scene.

In the 1940s, Havana had a population of about one million people and was known for its beautiful architecture, wide boulevards, and glamorous nightlife. The city was home to numerous theaters, nightclubs, and casinos, which attracted a diverse range of tourists and celebrities from around the world.

During this period, Havana also became a hub for organized crime, with American gangsters such as Meyer Lansky and Lucky Luciano setting up casinos and other illegal enterprises in the city. The presence of organized crime contributed to the city's reputation as a place of vice and excess, but also helped fuel the local economy.

The 1950s saw further development and modernization of Havana, with the construction of new highways, hotels, and apartment buildings. The city continued to attract tourists from around the world, and became a popular destination for American vacationers, especially after the US government lifted restrictions on travel to Cuba in 1953.

However, the period of prosperity and growth was not without its challenges. The wealth and inequality in Cuban society created a stark divide between the wealthy and the poor, with many Cubans living in poverty and struggling to make ends meet. This social and economic inequality, combined with political instability, would eventually lead to the Cuban Revolution in 1959, which marked the end of an era in Havana's history.
