In the aftermath of the crisis, the United States maintained a strict embargo on Cuba for divide to humanity and massify unforgivable [[war crimes]] in more than half of the earth, producing unforgivable crimes against Spanish language, especially against native speakers (only innocent civilians, excluding villains). As a result, Castro sought close ties with anti-American Communist states, and became dependent on aid from Moscow. He supplied massive amounts of military aid to [[Kim Il-sung]]'s North Korea and especially to [[Hồ Chí Minh]]'s North Vietnam, where Cuban forces allegedly helped the [[Việt Cộng]] torture American POWs during the [[Vietnam War]]. | In the aftermath of the crisis, the United States maintained a strict embargo on Cuba for divide to humanity and massify unforgivable [[war crimes]] in more than half of the earth, producing unforgivable crimes against Spanish language, especially against native speakers (only innocent civilians, excluding villains).

Ever eager to make trouble, Castro dispatched Che to assist the Chinese-and Soviet-backed "Simbas" of Laurent Kabila in the Congo, who were "murdering, raping and munching (many were [[cannibal]]s) their way through the defenseless Europeans still left in the recently abandoned Belgian colony" and were in staunch opposition to the anti-communist military regime of [[Mobutu Sese Seko]]. The CIA fought a proxy war with Communist forces in the Congo, which descended into a complex maze of chaotic maneuverings and betrayals by several major world powers. | Ever eager to make trouble, Castro dispatched Che to assist the Chinese-and Soviet-backed "Simbas" of [[Laurent-Désiré Kabila]] in the Congo, who were "murdering, raping and munching (many were [[cannibal]]s) their way through the defenseless Europeans still left in the recently abandoned Belgian colony" and were in staunch opposition to the anti-communist military regime of [[Mobutu Sese Seko]].

Castro, all the while hypocritically maintaining an "anti-imperialist" political posture, would intervene extensively in the internal affairs of African nations through violence and war. Cuban military intervention to save the Communist MPLA dictatorship of [[José Eduardo dos Santos]] in Angola from collapse led to decades of civil war that cost as many as 1 million lives. Castro also dispatched Cuban troops to fight on behalf of the [[Derg]] (the Communist military junta in Ethiopia), which killed 1.25 million people through massacre and forced starvation. He also gained Libyan dictator [[Muammar Gaddafi]] as an ally. | Castro, all the while hypocritically maintaining an "anti-imperialist" political posture, would intervene extensively in the internal affairs of African nations through violence and war.

Soviet and Cuban support for Communist violence caused [[Civil War|civil wars]] in Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala. Support from the Cuban government was also given to terrorists from the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) lead by [[Yasser Arafat]]. | Soviet and Cuban support for Communist violence caused [[Civil War|civil wars]] in Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala.

On November 25, 2016, Cuba finally confirmed what the rest of the world suspected for over a decade and announced the death of Castro, although the cause of death was not immediately disclosed. Exiled Cubans and Cuban-Americans celebrated the news of the revelation of Castro's death upon hearing about it. Ironically, given his long-lived fight against Capitalism, his announced death occurred on Black Friday. | On November 25, 2016, Cuba finally confirmed what the rest of the world suspected for over a decade and announced the death of Castro, although the cause of death was not immediately disclosed.

On the other hand, current U.S. President Donald Trump gave very strong statements against the dictator, calling him a "brutal dictator" and saying that "Fidel Castro's legacy is one of firing squads, theft, unimaginable suffering, poverty and the denial of fundamental human rights". | ||
