The Cuban Revolution was led by three young revolutionaries, Fidel Castro, Raul Castro, and Che Guevara. Their cause for the revolution was due to Batista’s organization of military coup against the Carlos Prío Socarrás’s government, which came along with substandard governing skills. Although Castro and his M-26-7 group failed the 1953 July 26th rebellion, they ultimately achieved their goal to see Batista abdicating; however, their success led to the brink of nuclear war. Cuba’s betrayal of America and their alliance with the USSR resulted the Cuban Missile Crisis. The Cuban Missile Crisis is an important event in the world, not only for Cuba. Fidel Castro’s decisions almost led to the nuclear war. Was he a great pioneer who led a successful revolution, or was he the worst leader, who almost resulted the annihilation of the world?
