Background info

Fidel Castro was born on August 13, 

1927 he was born near his fathers 

farm in Southeast Cuba. He lived on 

his fathers farm in his younger years. 

He spent much of his time as a child 

at catholic school, doing well in 

sports. 

Castro studied law at the 

university of Havana and was 

suddenly involved in politics. He 

joined the Caribbean legion in 

1947, which is a group of political 

exiles from Caribbean countries.

Castro grew up wealthy. He 

was intellectually gifted, but 

more interested in sports 

than school work. He 

pitched for the school's 

baseball team. 

He went to the Dominican 

Republic to overthrow the 

dictator Rafael Trujillo. 

The coup failed before it 

got started, but the 

incident didn't harm 

Castro's passion for 

reform.

Since the citizens were being 

constantly watched, they must be 

careful of their actions and what 

they were saying.The CDR had to 

know what everyone was doing. 

Some of the Cubans 

have been imprisoned in 

extremely poor 

conditions without trial. 

There were thousands of 

executions.

Thousands of political 

opponents to the Castro 

regime have been killed, 

during his first year of 

dictatorship. Castro 

acknowledges that Cuba 

holds political prisoners.

This particular topic 

relates to the united 

states, all of the America's 

and the cold war in many 

different ways.

Just like fidel castro 

leading Cuba during the 

cold war, there were 

other leaders in the 

united states and latin 

america. 

Just like what fidel 

castro did in Cuba, in 

Latin America Allende 

was treating his citizen 

bad also.
