'''Fidel Castro''' (August 13<sup>th</sup>, 1926 - November 25<sup>th</sup>, 2016) was the leftist leader of Communist Cuba. He was the son of a wealthy farmer and was an important proponent of [[Fulgencio Batista]]'s overthrowing. He had been known to try to assassinate the leader as well. He allied with the Soviet Union, and the CIA tried to assassinate him, including the Bay of Pigs invasion of 1961. After the CIA failed, the Soviet Union gave Cuba permission to use nuclear missiles. This resulted in the Cuban Missile Crisis, where the United States eventually needed to agree that it would never invade Russia and Cuba and that they would never use the missiles. | '''Fidel Castro''' (August 13<sup>th</sup>, 1926 - November 25<sup>th</sup>, 2016) was the leftist leader of Communist Cuba.
