What led to Fidel Castro's rise in Cuba? How did the United States deal with his new regime?
Answer (3)
This is a bit complicated:
Cuba was under Fulgencio Batista's reign by the time of Castro's rise. Cuba was a capitalist country at that point that was basically the US' puppet. Fidel Castro and his "guerrillas" were obviously against the system that was being employed for many reasons. I believe one of the main reasons was that Batista's Cuba was a corrupt one. There were many under-the-books assassinations just because they were a threat to Batista, etc. Overall, Cuba was a very corrupt and injust country at that point and that is why Fidel decided to fight against it, beginning with the "27 de julio movement" alongside Ernesto "Ché" Guevara.
Fidel Castro's rise in Cuba was a result of the successful Cuban Revolution, which led to the overthrow of the US-backed Batista government. The United States initially recognized Castro's government, but tensions arose as Castro aligned himself with the Soviet Union and implemented policies that concerned the US. ;
Fidel Castro rose to power in Cuba by leading a successful revolution against the corrupt regime of Fulgencio Batista from 1953 to 1959. Initially met with cautious support from the U.S., relations soured as Castro adopted socialist policies, leading to an economic embargo and hostile actions such as the Bay of Pigs invasion. This transformation turned Cuba into a focal point of Cold War tensions between the U.S. and the Soviet Union.
