Cuba is a country and the largest island in the Caribbean, whose capital and largest commercial city is Havana.

It is located to the south of the United States and the Bahamas, to the east of Mexico, to the north of Jamaica and the Cayman Islands, and to the west of Haiti.

History

During the Golden Age of Piracy, Cuba and the rest of the Caribbean were frequently visited and inhabited by pirates. The pirate-turned-Assassin Edward Kenway visited Cuba several times using his ship, the Jackdaw.

Kenway met and killed the turncoat Assassin Duncan Walpole in Cape Bonavista, on the island's western shore, before travelling to Havana, where he encountered members of the Caribbean Rite of the Templar Order, led by the island's governor, Laureano de Torres y Ayala. Kenway was eventually exposed and imprisoned, although he managed to steal the ship he would rename the Jackdaw, making his escape. He would return in 1722 in an attempt to locate and kill Torres, assassinating Torres' bodyguard El Tiburón before leaving once more. 

Cuba was also protected by several naval forts located around the entire shoreline of the island, and was also home to the plantation at Mazantas on the northern coast and the town of Arroyos on the southern.
