'''Fidel Castro''' (August 13th, 1926 - November 25th, 2016) was a Cuban Communist revolutionary who served as the leader of the Republic of Cuba for nearly five decades, first as Prime Minister from 1959 to 1976, then as President from 1976 to 2008. His 49-year tenure as the leader of Cuba makes him the longest-ruling non-royal ruler of the 20th and 21st centuries.

One of the most controversial political leaders of all time, Castro both inspired and dismayed people across the world during his lifetime. ''The Observer'' stated that he proved to be as divisive in death as he was in life, and that the only thing that his enemies and admirers agreed upon was that he was a towering figure in world affairs who transformed a small Caribbean island into a major force in world affairs. ''The Daily Telegraph'' noted that across the world he was either praised as a brave champion of the people, or derided as a power-mad dictator~~, many historians considered him to be the worst tyrant of Cuba~~.
