Who Was Fidel Castro. In 1959, Fidel Castro took control of Cuba by force and remained its dictatorial leader for nearly five decades. As the leader of the only communist country in the Western Hemisphere, Castro had long been the focus of international controversy. Dates: August 13, 1926/27 --.
Following the Soviet Union's dissolution in 1991, Castro led Cuba into its Special Period and embraced environmentalist and anti-globalization ideas. In the 2000s he forged alliances in the Latin American Pink Tide â namely with Hugo ChÃ¡vez's Venezuela â and signed Cuba to the Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas. In 2006 he transferred his responsibilities to Vice-President RaÃºl Castro, who formally assumed the presidency in 2008.
