Marti devoted his life to ending colonial rule in Cuba and to preventing it from falling under the control of any country whose political ideologies were contrary to the principles he held. With those goals, and with the conviction that the freedom of the Caribbean was crucial to Latin American security and to the balance of power in the world, he devoted his talents to the establishment of a nation. José Martí's life-long dedication to the cause of Cuban independence and his passionate belief in democracy and justice has made him a hero for all Cubans and a symbol of unity. His ultimate goal was to build a democratic, and stable republic in Cuba. His obsession with the practical execution of this goal led him to become the most charismatic leader of the 1895 colonial revolution. His work with the Cuban communities, enlisting the support of Cuban workers and socialist leaders to form the Cuban Revolutionary Party, put into motion the Cuban war of independence. His belief in the inseparability of Cuban and Latin American sovereignty and the expressions in his writings have contributed to the shape of the modern Latin American Identity. His writing is a cornerstone of Latin American and political literature and his prolific contributions to the fields of journalism, poetry, and prose are highly acclaimed. Martí's writings on the concepts of Cuban nationalism fuelled the 1895 revolution still continue to inform conflicting visions of the Cuban nation. Cuba,; under Fidel Castro, has consistently claimed Martí to be a crucial inspiration for its Marxist revolutionary government. He was a revolutionary, a guide, and more importantly, a mentor. His vast experience and education enabled him to move comfortably in the most diverse fields, which is what makes his teachings so symbolic.
