o Bio:  I was born into a family with little money. I was able to obtain an education at a Colegio Lasalle. I eventually perused a college education form Colegio Belén, a Jesuit preparatory school in Havana. Here I studied law, and learned the ways of a revolutionary. I eventually teamed up with a radical revolutionary group which got me thrown in jail for a little bit. When I got out of jail I was out for blood. I went to Mexico got myself a small but well trained group of fighters and launched a full scale on attack Batista. I succeeded with the help of local fighters. I seized control of the country in 1959. One of the first things I did was kick the Americans out of are country. Cuba was done being dominated by the U.S. It was time for Cuba to become free. Next I successfully set up the first communist country in the western hemisphere. Go me! Following my communist move I align myself with the Russians. The Russians provided economic support for the new Cuba. They also helped us by giving us the hook up with some nuclear weapons. In 1961 I was sippin on the Bacardi when all of a sudden the U.S. gets all up in my grill about some nuclear weapons that I might have had. Long and short of it my alleged nukes had to be dismantled and my buds the Russians had to peace out.  I tried to take my revolutionary ideas to Latin America, Asia, and Africa. By 1966 I had founded the Asia-Africa-Latin America People's Solidarity Organization to promote my revolutionary ideas on three continents. Most of my efforts failed, but there was some success in Mexico. After much wasted time I gave up on that dream and pursued other interests. My health eventually became an issue and I elected to step down from office. But the good family name of the Castros, will be continued by my brother Raul.
