The Cuban Revolution of 1953-1959 saw the overthrow of the dictatorship of President Fulgencio Batista by the famous Fidel Castro and Ernesto Che Guevara. In this video I will look at the history of Cuba, its discovery by Christopher Columbus and subsequent colonisation by the Spanish, the revolts against Spanish rule by black slaves and white and mixed people alike, the Spanish-American War and the years of US Occupation, the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista, and the course of the Cuban Revolution from the landing of the Granma and the flight into the Sierra Maestra through the difficult jungle campaign, the role of the CIA in supporting rebel groups, Operacion Verano and the rebel counter-offensive resulting in Che Guevara's victory at the Battle of Santa Clara and the final victory of M-26-7 and Fidel Castro with his arrival in La Havana.
