Revolutionary Strategies: The Military Tactics of the Cuban Revolution

The Cuban Revolution, led by Fidel Castro, marked a transformative period for Cuba, shifting it from a U.S.-backed dictatorship under Fulgencio Batista to a nation under revolutionary rule. Despite starting with democratic and nationalist intentions, the movement, influenced by figures like Che Guevara and Raul Castro, gradually adopted communist elements. This shift led to major social and economic reforms, including significant land redistributions and nationalizations, which alienated the United States and led to strained relations, pushing Cuba closer to the Soviet Union.
