Anti-Castro groups

Anti-Castro groups refer to various organizations and individuals opposed to the political regime of Fidel Castro in Cuba, particularly after he came to power in 1959. These groups, including Cuban exiles and dissidents, sought to overthrow Castro's communist government, often through acts of sabotage, propaganda, and support from foreign governments, notably the United States. They played a role in events like the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961. Their motivations included advocating for democracy, human rights, and the restoration of freedoms in Cuba. The legacy of these groups remains complex and contentious in both Cuban and American history.
