Visualizing History: Cuban Revolution Part I


The start of a revolution had been brewing for many years in the tiny Caribbean island of Cuba. On July 26, 1953, a group of young militants led by Fidel Castro attacked the Moncada military barracks in Santiago in a bid to overthrow U.S. supported dictator, Fulgencio Batista. Even though the attack was a failure that lead to their arrest, Castro and his followers not only succeeded in starting the Cuban Revolution but gained the attention of the Cuban people.
