The Cuban Revolution was a pivotal event in the history of Cuba that took place from 1953 to 1962, resulting in the overthrow of the dictator Fulgencio Batista and the establishment of a communist government led by Fidel Castro. The revolution was driven by a complex set of factors, including economic inequality, political corruption, and social unrest, as well as Cold War tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union. The revolution was also influenced by Cuba’s history of colonialism, slavery, and political instability, as well as Fidel Castro’s charismatic leadership and his vision of a socialist Cuba. Ultimately, the Cuban Revolution had a profound impact not only on Cuba but also on the wider world, shaping global politics for decades to come.
