The so-called “Cuban Revolution” is one of the outstanding results of the management of the left-wing revolutionary movement, led by Fidel Castro, which ended the dictatorship in the hands of Fulgencio Batista. With this, the guerrilla army managed to position itself in power from then until today; For this reason, it is considered that Cuba is still in its revolutionary era. It is perhaps the most successful left-wing rise that has been seen in America and, although the government has been seen by organizations such as Amnesty International, as authoritarian and highly restrictive, it has kept the weak economy of the island afloat..
The first confrontations took place from November 26, 1956, when a yacht with 82 guerrillas set sail from Veracruz, Mexico, to Cuba; However, there was a delay in the landing date, so they were attacked and defeated, 20 of the soldiers being eliminated. But this was only the beginning of years of confrontations, defeats and victories, which would bring Castro to power on January 5, 1959. Castro was in charge of the Armed Forces, Che Guevara, together with Faustino López, undertook the task of recovering the funds embezzled (industry), Rufo López Fresquet was in charge of the farm, Armando Hart was in charge of education, Enrique Oltiuski of communications, Manuel Ray of public works, Regino Boti of the economy and Luis Orlando Rodríguez of interior policies.
As the 20th century passed, the quality of life on the island (which was not appropriate for when the revolution arrived), worsened considerably. In addition to this, it is reported that the regime constantly monitors private communications, censors the media, restricted access to the Internet, and placed limits on education. These led to the massive migration of Cubans in the 90s, who settled in the United States, Venezuela and Spain.
