Cuban Revolution

The Cuban Revolution was a pivotal conflict that took place between 1953 and 1959, where Fidel Castro and a group of revolutionaries aimed to overthrow the authoritarian regime of Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista. The movement gained popular support due to widespread discontent with corruption, inequality, and repression. After years of guerrilla warfare, Batista fled Cuba, and Castro's forces took control, establishing a socialist government. The revolution significantly altered Cuba's political landscape, led to strained U.S.-Cuba relations, and inspired similar movements in Latin America and beyond. Its legacy remains influential in discussions about socialism and revolutionary change.
