Fidel Castro, now resigned and still alive, was the dictator of the Cuban nation. He had a tremendous impact on America and our world. Fidel Castro was a long-time Cuban dictator. Fidel Castro becoming a dictator not only affected the United States, but his arrival also affected the world around us. Fidel Castro was a man who had a target on his head. Many people around the world wanted him dead. Fidel Castro was not a capitalist, he was a communist. Fidel Castro was born on August 13, 1926 in Buran, Cuba, to foreign parents, Angel and Lina Castro Ruz. He is the son of a successful sugarcane planter. Fidel Castro was known for his athleticism and intelligence. He went to school and began studying law at the University of Havana. In 1946, he made the front pages of a few newspapers because of his speeches, and a year later Castro joined the Cuban People's Socialist Party. So after Castro learned of a plan to depose the leader of the Dominican Republic, Rafael Trujillo, it nevertheless failed because the United States pointed out that Castro's continued invasion had traveled to the Dominican Republic to seize power, but several people were arrested and detained, with Fidel Castro being one of those who fled. So after that, Castro had become completely liberal because of American interventionism and legal corruption. By the late 1940s, Castro had joined a group in which one of its leaders had been killed. The Group was the Cuban People's Socialist Party. Castro stole guns for the group and returned home later that year. He had children the year later, with his wife Mirta Diaz Bal...... middle of newspaper ......d so that Fidel would not become president of Cuba again, but he did so to a good reason, If Fidel had remained president while sick, Cuba would have experienced a Russian revolution like the one in 1917. Overall, Fidel Castro had both good and bad aspects of his life. He had the greatest impact on America than anyone. Even though he did nothing to help America, he almost went through a third world war. Without Castro, without his uprising, Russia would one day send us a nuclear missile and we would not be alive. Arguably, if the Missile Crisis did not occur so soon, we would experience an Armageddon and live in a recovering post-apocalyptic world. And without Castro's impact on the world, the nations of Africa would not be liberated and Cuba would have experienced an even worse uprising..
