Mia Rossi, a foreign journalist, who doesn’t really like how Batista ruled the people of Cuba, she supported Castro at first, but slowly started doubting his actions as the months pasted.
Changes and Continuities
Castro and Batista are two different people who have their own views on how to rule, after Castro took over, the revolution succeeded in its two basic goals, ousting the Batista regime and overturning the old political, economic and social order. Batista favored imperialism while Castro, the said to be champion of socialism, was in fact anti-imperialism. Following the successful takeover of the Government, American businesses were nationalized on August 6, 1960.
After the effects of the Cuban Revolution, a lot has changed, but what stayed the same? Cuba still heavily relied on sugar profits, and this means the Cuban Government was unable to shift from an agricultural-based economy to an industrialized economy. The revolution also failed to keep its promise to restore civil rights guaranteed by the 1940 constitution and to hold fair elections.
