EcuRed is an online encyclopedia from Cuba. Think of it like a Cuban version of Wikipedia! It started in 2010 and has grown a lot. Today, it has more than 200,000 articles for people to read.
What is EcuRed?
EcuRed is a short name for something longer. It stands for Enciclopedia Cubana en la Red. In Spanish, this means "Cuban encyclopedia on the Web." The whole website is written in Spanish.
EcuRed's Main Goal
EcuRed says its main goal is to gather and share knowledge. They want to do this in a way that helps people learn and understand things from a different point of view. They aim to share information that is not just from one perspective.
How EcuRed Presents Information
Articles on EcuRed are written from a Cuban point of view. This means they might explain events or topics differently than other encyclopedias. For example, an article about the United States might focus on its history of gaining land and resources from other countries. An article about a leader like George W. Bush might talk about his family's history in politics. This shows how EcuRed offers a unique perspective on world events and people.
