Cuba History, Communism & Global Politics: Fidel Castro, Revolution & Modern Relevance
In this episode of The Perspicacious Perspective, I explore Cuba’s complex history, from the 1959 revolution and Fidel Castro’s rise to power, to its ongoing role in global politics. I break down the fall of Fulgencio Batista, the impact of the Bay of Pigs invasion and the Cuban Missile Crisis, and how communism shaped life on the island.
I also examine post-Soviet Cuba under Raul Castro and the current leadership of Miguel Díaz-Canel, looking at Cuba’s international relationships, including trade deals with China, ties to Russia, and ongoing tensions with the United States. I discuss how Cuba influences geopolitics in the Gulf of Mexico region and whether it’s a safe and accessible destination for travelers today.
Join me for a deep dive into Cuba’s revolutionary history, communist legacy, and its modern global relevance. This episode offers a clear-eyed, thought-provoking perspective you won’t get anywhere else.
