Causes: The country of Cuba was under the rule of a dictator known as Fulgencio Batista who gained his presidency by the 'Revolt of the Sergeants' which overthrew the old government and became the president. But the true start of the Cuban Revolution was when the Moncada Barracks were atacked by rebels led by Fidel Castro. He and other survivors including his brother Raul Castro were captured and it was during his time captured that he gave his famous 'History will absolve me' speech.

Ideal: Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, and other revolutionary leaders wished to free Cuba from the dictatorship of Batista and save Cuba from men like him.
