Fulgencio Batista
Fulgencio Batista was a Cuban military leader and politician who served as the President of Cuba in two non-consecutive terms, first from 1940 to 1944 and later from 1952 until he was overthrown by Fidel Castro's revolutionary forces in 1959. His regime was marked by authoritarian rule, widespread corruption, and repression of political dissent, which ultimately fueled the Cuban Revolution. Batista's alignment with American interests and his brutal crackdown on opposition earned him both support and enmity, making him a controversial figure in Cuban history.
