Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz ([fiˈðel aleˈhandɾo ˈkastɾo ˈrus]; August 13, 1926 - November 25, 2016) was a Cuban revolutionary and politician who governed the Republic of Cuba as Prime Minister from 1959 to 1976 and then as President from 1976 to 2008. Politically a Marxist - Leninist and Cuban nationalist, he also served as the First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba from 1961 until 2011. After participating in rebellions against right-wing governments in the Dominican Republic and Colombia, he planned the overthrow of Cuban President Fulgencio Batista, launching a failed attack on the Moncada Barracks in 1953. After a year's imprisonment, he traveled to Mexico where he formed a revolutionary group, the 26th of July Movement, with his brother Raúl Castro and Che Guevara. In the 2000s he forged alliances in the Latin American "pink tide" - namely with Hugo Chávez's Venezuela - and signed Cuba up to the Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas.
