Abstract

The article focuses on key events in Cuba's revolutionary history from the early 1950s to the early 1960s, detailing the rise of Fidel Castro and the establishment of a socialist state. It begins with General Fulgencio Batista's coup d'état in 1952, which leads to a military dictatorship supported by the United States. The narrative follows the guerrilla warfare initiated by Castro's rebels, culminating in Batista's flight in 1959 and the subsequent consolidation of power by Castro, including the founding of the Communist Party of Cuba in 1965. Significant events such as the Bay of Pigs invasion and the Cuban Missile Crisis are also highlighted, illustrating the geopolitical tensions of the era. [Extracted from the article]
