Fidel Castro:
Fidel Castro led the Cuban Revolution of 1959 and served as the nation's authoritarian ruler until 2008. He brutally transformed Cuba into a one-party communist state and became the Soviet Union's most important ally in the Americas. Castro's regime was marked by censorship, human rights abuses and political executions. For decades, Cuban troops and agents have fostered revolution and aided communist rebels in Africa, Central America and South America. |
