Fidel Castro - Leader of the Cuban Revolution

July 30, 2024 Kelsey and Nick

Fidel Castro was a Cuban born revolutionary who managed to overthrow the Cuban Government in the 1950s. Castro introduced sweeping changes to the island including nationalizing many private businesses as well as healthcare. Castro and his new Socialist state of Cuba would eventually be faced with an existential crisis after aligning with the Soviet Union during the Cold War and finding themselves in the middle of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Roll up, light up, and grab some Cuban cigars for another episode of your favorite weed fueled podcast.
