Send us a textWhat's up to all my Barbarous Revolutionaries and Insuperable Love Bugs! This episode is the first installment of a BNP Original Minisode Series about the life of Fidel Castro and the history of the Cuban Revolution. Open your mind and let go of preconceived notions as the BNP revisits Fidel Castro's singular legacy, and we take a deep dive into the makings of the remarkable island nation of Cuba. Cuba has successfully stood up to and withstood the inexorable hostility of the world's greatest superpower just 103 miles off its shore for the past 61 years, since Fidel led the successful Cuban Revolution, overthrowing the U.S. and Mafia puppet dictator Fulgencio Batista in 1959.This first episode begins all the way back through the misty sands of time, and examines pre-European Cuban history with a look at the indigenous inhabitants of the island, including the Taino people. We go up to 1898, after Cuba's first two wars of independence, the first being the 10 year war of independence against Spain from 1868-1878 and the second being Jose Marti's 3 year war of independence from 1895-1898. In 1898 the U.S. defeats Spain, ending the Spanish-American war, and Spain fully cedes Cuba to the United States. The second BNP Minisode installment of Revisiting Fidel is coming soon, and will pick up from there. Thank you for listening and supporting the BNP!
