Cuban Revolution: part 2

The new communist government by Castro created a more peaceful situation, more equality, and the changes in education. As you can imagine, the time when Cuba is in Batista's hand, the country is often treated brutally. The Batista did all those actions in order to keep Cuba's cities under the government control. However, after the Batista regime is down and Castro's communist is up, the brutal actions are mostly gone away. The dictatorship is gone too, and equality is granted to everyone. There's a huge changes after the fall of the Batista regime as well. Since private school were banned, the state assumed greater responsibility for children.
Judging from my point of view, the Castro's new communist government


seems to be better than the Batista's government. Their differences are the freedom, how the government do with its people, and how . The  new government has a better attitude than the Batista due to its communist system. The country ruled by a corrupted government by Batista before. The Batista often use brutal methods to keep Cuba's cities under government control. Citizens' freedom are better due to no more corruption, and a better leader.

Cuban Revolution: The Analysis Document
Cuban Revolution is a revolution happened during 1953-1959. From my point of view, it's a revolution between a man name Fulgencio Batista which is the president and also the military leader of Cuba, and a man name Fidel Castro who was in the group call the "26th of July movement". The whole revolution starts at 26 July 1953 and ends at 1 January 1959. The new government that was created by Fidel Castro begins with a guerilla attack, continued with the 26th of July movement group and ends with the victory in 1 January 1959. The first guerrilla warfare launched in 26 July 1953 on the Moncada Barracks, an army facility in Santiago de Cube. The attack was a failure and Fidel got imprisoned for 15 years. During the 15 years, people start to protest about Fidel's imprisonment. People actually hated Batista since the beginning, and they are on Castro's side. After Fidel Castro was released from the prison, the group name the 26th of July movement established according to the date of the failed attack. The group is the main support on guerrilla attacks and ways to complete their goals. For an example, the Battle of Santa Clara on 31 December 1958 is the last battle the group defeated Batista together. The victory of the 26th of July movement is the huge of the last step to accomplish Castro's goals. Batista was finally lose to Castro on 1 January 1959, and replaced by Castro's government. This government later becoming the Communist Party of Cuba in October 1965.
