Cuban Revolution
1955–1958 sociopolitical change in Cuba
Summary
The Cuban Revolution was the military and political movement that overthrew the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista, who had ruled Cuba from 1952 to 1959. The revolution began after the 1952 Cuban coup d'état, in which Batista overthrew the emerging Cuban democracy and consolidated power. Among those who opposed the coup was Fidel Castro, then a young lawyer, who initially tried to challenge the takeover through legal means in the Cuban courts. When these efforts failed, Fidel Castro and his brother Raúl led an armed assault on the Moncada Barracks, a Cuban military post, on 26 July 1953.

Made the number of Cuban troops in Operation Verano match the general historical consensus and the main Operation Verano article. Added a source to that (I didn't remove the original source in case someone disputes this or that source was used for more than just the numbers). Also fixed a spelling mistake.
/* Presidential palace attack */
/*Background*/ Add economic and social background
Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1347308401|1347308401]] by [[Special:Contributions/~2026-21067-48|~2026-21067-48]] ([[User talk:~2026-21067-48|talk]]) All this edit does is remove a bit of helpful information.
Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1346699684|1346699684]] by [[Special:Contributions/Kvospo|Kvospo]] ([[User talk:Kvospo|talk]]) While what he added was good, what he took away was better, and although the corruption section is overly long, whats worse is the shell of information that is neither interesting nor fits within the article as a whole that was left. I hope you can add back what you I sadly took way (it is to arduous to copy and paste everything you deleted). Sorry.
/* Background */ Add economic and social background; moved detailed cuba corruption history to [[Corruption in Cuba|dedicated page]]
