Fidel Castro´s Speech

Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz

Cuban revolutionary and statesman. After leading the triumphant Cuban Revolution of 1959 , which brought together a broad spectrum of social sectors and political formations against servile and corrupt dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista, Fidel Castro immediately undertook a policy of socializing sign that included land reform and expropriation goods of American companies. The pressure from the United States, which in 1961 supported an unsuccessful attempt to invade the island, brought Castro to radicalize their positions and seek help from the USSR , and although the outcome of the so-called Missile Crisis (1962 ) ensured the survival Revolution, also undermined its independence, leaving the country aligned in the Soviet orbit.
