Fidel Castro's role in the cuban revolution This is an evaluation of Castro's role on the cuban revolution of 1959 which overthrew the Batista regime

The Cuban revolution headed by Fidel Castro succeeded in overthrowing Batista and establishing a Communist dictatorship in Cuba. Throughout this struggle for change Fidel Castro played a crucial role not only in contributing to the success of the Cuban Revolution in 1959 but extending the revolution beyond the seizure of power into a genuine social revolution which transformed Cuban society. During the period after Batista's military coup, popular reaction was guarded and no major demonstrations occurred. …

…that based on the facts Fidel Castro played a crucial role in the Cuban revolution between 1950 and 1970. Castro was the leader of the revolution and I believe that if it was not for his romantic charisma, soaring ambition, great leadership skills and tactical genius the Cuban revolution would never have succeeded. I believe it's through Castro's ideologies and unique personal qualities that Cuba was revolutionised and shaped into the nation it is to this date.
