Fidel felt that the government of the President of Cuba, Fulgencio Batista had many disadvantages, rather than benefits.

Previously, the Batista government had brought hope. Development is carried out. Employee welfare is considered. Recently the lives of the Cuban people have become difficult. Corruption everywhere and the government runs like a doll of the United States (US).

General Ruben Fulgencio Batista Zalvidar cannot be eliminated from Cuban history alone. His name was classy because he led the coup in 1933 and succeeded. The incident was known as the Sergeant's Revolution.

At its peak, Castro founded the Movimiento 26 de Julio resistance movement aka M-26-7 (July 26 Movement) on July 26, 1953. The movement is considered the starting point of the Cuban revolution. Castro tried to make efforts to overthrow Batista.

They then carried out an attack on Cuba's second-largest military base, the west of Moncada on the Santiago de Cuba. The attack failed. However, Castro's courage gave rise to a new force. The July 26 movement began to be supported by many people.

Che Guevara also joined forces and finalized the movement. His progress is getting faster. His troops are growing. At its peak, Batista's power was completely destroyed in 1959. The Cuban Revolution was summarized with Fidel Castro as the leader of the Serutu Country.

The attack failed completely, and many former rebels were arrested and killed. Castro himself survived, and delivered an important speech from the dock: history will free me. The speech outlines his political program."

The speech became the classic text of the July 26 Movement which he later organized. Castro used a failed Moncada attack as a call to unite the anti-Batista opposition into a political force, "said Richard Gott in his writing on The Guardian's website entitled Fidel Castro Obituary (2016).
