The Life of Fidel Castro

Fidel Castro was one of the most infamous leaders of Cuba. During Castro's time of being a leader, thousands of cubans left the country and settled in Florida. This is why to this day you are most likely to see lots of Cubans in Miami, Florida. Or also just Florida in general. Although, before Castro became leader, Fulgencio Batista was the current leader of that time. Castro had this idea of overthrowing Batista, he had about 150 supporters that planned to attack the Moncada military barracks near Santiago de Cuba. His idea was to try and overthrow Batista, but his plan didn't work out and Castro was arrested and sentenced to 15 years in prison.

They fought the Cuban military and overthrew the Cuban dictator, Fulgencio Batista. Fidel Castro became the new dictator of Cuba in 1959. While he was leader, lots of improvements were made. For example, he helped health care and education in a good way.
