Fidel Castro overthrew the government of Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista in 1959. After 2 years in jail and studying warfare Castro finally took power when Batista fled from the country due to war.

However, this power was initially split between Prime Minister José Miró Cardona, President Manuel Urrutia Lleó and Castro. Castro first helped to oust Cardona in February. Later, he helped replace Lleó with Osvaldo Dorticós, while effectively remaining in power.
