3. The Cuban Revolution
The Cuban Revolution (1953-1959) is often reduced to a Cold War proxy battle, yet its origins were far more complex. At its core, the movement was fueled by deep social inequality and widespread resentment toward Batista’s oppressive regime. Popular support for change and anti-imperialist passions drove the revolution forward, aspects often ignored in Western retellings. This oversimplification overlooks the aspirations and motivations of ordinary Cubans.
