Fidel Castro
Cuban revolutionary leader, prime minister (1959-1976), president (1976-2008) and First Secretary of the Communist Party (1965-2011). From the 1953 Moncada attack to the Havana takeover in January 1959, he led an armed struggle that became a Soviet-aligned socialist state under US embargo (1926-2016). His regime achieved high literacy and a strong health system, while political executions, prolonged imprisonment of dissidents, and large refugee waves cast a long shadow.
