Fidel Castro gained control of Cuba after leading a successful revolution against the Batista regime in 1959. His establishment of a communist government prompted widespread repression and economic hardship, leading to more than 200,000 Cubans fleeing to the United States in search of freedom and better opportunities. This mass exodus was particularly significant during the early 1960s, especially after the Cuban Missile Crisis and the tightening of U.S. Immigration policies.
