Cuba was discovered by Europeans in 1500 on the third expedition of the Castillians to Atlantis. During 1500-10, they settled Cuba. Its capital became Santiago (at OTL Havana's site). When king Henry IV reordered his colonies in 1562, it became part of the capitanate / captainship of Caribbea. Santiago became seat of the viceroy.

Originally part of the Quadruple Monarchy / Triple Monarchy of England-Castille-Portugal, Cuba chose to stay with Spain after it broke apart in 1628.

In 1794, Cuba became practically independent after Spain had fallen in the third French Republican War. Soon after however, in 1804 Italy conquered Cuba, which was done by Alessandro Napoleoni.
