Content: The Cuban revolution was a revolutionary movement initiated in Cuba in 1953 and concluded in 1959 with the rise to power of Fidel Castro. Its most important political effect was the overthrow of the then President of Cuba, Fulgencio Batista, considered by many a dictator. Main political effects of the Cold War and the Cuban Revolution
Consequences of the Cold War
This political conflict faced capitalism and communism for four decades, and although there was no military conflict between the countries most involved, the United States and the Soviet Union, other regions were affected. In many countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America, communist and socialist ideology provoked a tense political environment. The struggle between communism and capitalism changed governments and divided countries. However, positive effects such as the fall of the Berlin wall, the creation of NATO and the fall of the USSR were achieved, which in turn allowed several nations to become independent from the communist bloc. The Cuban revolution and its consequences
The arrival to power of the revolutionary leader Fidel Castro, has had terrible consequences for the Cuban economy until the present time. Castro's opposition to numerous capitalist practices of US businessmen on the island led to the rupture of diplomatic relations between the two nations in 1961 and the nationalization of numerous American industries based in Cuba. The United States responded with an economic and trade embargo on Cuba, which has plunged Cubans into a deep economic and humanitarian crisis. However, supporters loyal to Castro deny such allegations, claiming information manipulation by"Capitalist"media.
