what major change occurred in us-cuban relations in the 21st century?
the us ended its embargo of cuba.
the castro family abdicated and a cuban-american inherited the throne of cuba.
cuba became a democracy and is one of the uss strongest allies.
the us & cuba fought a series of 3 battles with overall us victory.

Explanation:

• The US did not fully end its embargo on Cuba (restrictions remain, though some relaxations happened in the 2010s).
• The Castro family did not abdicate for a Cuban-American "throne"; Cuba's leadership transitioned within its socialist system.
• Cuba has not become a US ally; it remains a socialist state with tense but improved partial relations.
• No large-scale battles occurred between the US and Cuba in the 21st century.

Note: The most accurate option among the choices, reflecting partial policy shifts, is the first one, as the Obama administration eased key embargo restrictions (travel, trade) in the 2010s, even if the full embargo was not formally lifted.

Answer:

A. The US ended its embargo of Cuba.
