Cuba has had a "communist" party in Cuba since the beginning of "Cuba" but the formal communist party was formed in 1925 by Moscow-trained members of the Third International.
For three years Cuba adhered to the Stalinist brand of Communism but between the the 1940's and 50's it collaborated with the government of Fulgencio Batista and no longer became communist. They renamed the party in 1944 to the Peoples Socialist Party. This was the name of the party until 1961, when Castro overthrew Batista, when it was then named Organizaciones Revolucionarias Integradas. This was until, again. it was renamed (and recognized) as the United Party of the Cuban Socialist Revolution. This then dissolved and turned into the Communist Party of Cuba which was more along the lines of the Soviet Communism. In 1975 Cuba made it so that there was only one sole legal political entity. In a congress in 1991, in Cuba, they reaffirmed the sole legal political entity "rule". They did this because of the collapse of the Soviet Union and other Communist countries in eastern Europe.
