The end of a revolution: Fidel Castro

Date:

Fidel Castro, was a cuban revolutionary who defied US vehemently and was one of the world’s best-known and most controversial leaders.

The revolutionary icon’s death on Friday was long expected, given the former president’s age and health problems. Castro’s younger brother Raul, assumed the presidency of Cuba in 2006, after Fidel’s health problems.

He survived long enough to see Raul negotiate an opening with the outgoing US president, Barack Obama, in December 2014, when Washington and Havana announced they would move to restore diplomatic ties for the first time since they were severed in 1961. Fidel Castro had held onto power longer than any other living national leader except Queen Elizabeth II.
