The president of Cuba since 1940 was Batista, his enemy was Fidel Castro who had a strong belief in Communism. He ran for the Cuban House of Representatives but troops led by Batista stopped him and he was exiled to Mexico. In 1956, Castro invaded Cuba; they were crushed but escaped to the mountains--he was able to get communist followers slowly. In 1957, Castro forced waged guerrilla wars against the Cuban government. In 1959, Batista resgined and fled the country, this left Castro able to take control of the Cuban government and become dictator. Castro wanted Americans out of Cuba which led to bad ties with the U.S. Currently, Cuba is still communist, but ties between the two countries have improved, somewhat.
