The first election Batista was a candidate in was the race for President of Cuba in 1940. This occurred years after he rose to power in Cuba as head of the armed forces following the collapse of the government and armed coup 1933. In 1944, Batista ran again and was defeated. He returned to politics as a successful candidate for Parliament, and then ran for President again in 1952. Far behind his opponent, Batista led yet another military coup and cancelled the election. He was defeated by Fidel Castro's revolutionary forces early in 1959.
