The Cuban Revolution happened from 1953 to 1959, during this period, a small guerilla force conquered Cuba from the ruthless dictator Fulgencio Batista. After the revolution, they improved healthcare, education, and financial support for the people. The new government was soon declared socialist even though they weren’t. They needed to do this to gain support from the USSR and China. The US, therefore, put an embargo on Cuba that is still ongoing to this day. This is the Cuban Revolution in Plain English.
