Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz (August 13, 1926 – November 25, 2016) was a Cuban revolutionary and statesman who led his country for nearly five decades. Born in Birán, Oriente Province, he studied law at the University of Havana, where he became involved in nationalist and anti-imperialist movements. In 1953 he led a failed attack on the Moncada Barracks, was imprisoned, and later went into exile in Mexico. There, alongside Ernesto “Che” Guevara and other revolutionaries, he planned and executed the guerrilla campaign that overthrew Fulgencio Batista’s regime in January 1959. As prime minister (later president), Castro instituted sweeping land reforms, nationalized key industries, and established universal education and healthcare, while forging a close alliance with the Soviet Union. His defiance of U.S. pressure—most famously during the Bay of Pigs invasion (1961) and the Cuban Missile Crisis (1962)—cemented his standing as a leading figure in the Cold War. Despite ongoing economic challenges and criticism over political repression, Castro remained head of state until stepping down in 2008 in favor of his brother, Raúl, leaving behind a legacy that transformed Cuba’s social structure and its role on the world stage.
