Ideologically a Marxist–Leninist and Cuban nationalist, he also served as the first secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba from 1961 until 2011.

Castro adopted leftist and anti-imperialist ideas while studying law at the University of Havana. After participating in rebellions against right-wing governments in the Dominican Republic and Colombia, he planned the overthrow of Cuban President Fulgencio Batista, launching a failed attack on the Moncada Barracks in 1953. After a year’s imprisonment, Castro traveled to Mexico where he formed a revolutionary group, the 26th of July Movement, with his brother Raúl Castro and Ernesto “Che” Guevara. Returning to Cuba, Castro took a key role in the Cuban Revolution by leading the Movement in a guerrilla war against Batista’s forces from the Sierra Maestra. After Batista’s overthrow in 1959, Castro assumed military and political power as Cuba’s prime minister. The United States came to oppose Castro’s government and unsuccessfully attempted to remove him by assassination, economic blockade, and counter-revolution, including the Bay of Pigs Invasion of 1961. Countering these threats, Castro aligned with the Soviet Union and allowed the Soviets to place nuclear weapons in Cuba, resulting in the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Poster made in Cuba with the image of Jose Marti. On the top of the poster is a quotation of Marti:”Who thinks of himself does not love the country”. José Julian Martí y Pérez (1853-1895) was one of the leaders during the Cuban Independence War and also a valued poet and writer. Nowadays he is seen as Cuba’s most important national hero. In Vedado is the Martí Monument and the Cuba cemetery in Santiago de Cuba is a mausoleum in his memory. In addition to a great writer, poet and journalist, Martí was also a painter. In 1867 he followed drawing and painting lessons at the Havana art academy. Partly because an independence revolt had broken out in Oriente, the colonial authorities were not pleased with criticism and José Martí was arrested in March 1869 and thrown in prison. Four months later during the court session, Martí accepted the responsibility for this accusation and in his final plea he claimed Cuba’s right to independence. He was sentenced to six years in prison. On April 11, 1895, Martí led a landing of Cuban bannings and joined the troops of the Rebal General Máximo Gómez. Martí died during a battle against Spanish troops in the Battle of Dos Ríos on May 19, 1895.
