The Cuban Revolution (Spanish: Revolución cubana) was an armed revolt conducted by Fidel Castro's revolutionary 26th of July Movement and its allies against the authoritarian government of Cuban PresidentFulgencio Batista. The revolution began in July 1953,[4] and continued sporadically until the rebels finally ousted Batista on 31 December 1959, replacing his government with a revolutionary socialist state. 26 July 1959 is celebrated in Cuba as the Day of the Revolution.

The correct answer is a tyrant.
The original Greek term was used to refer to an authoritarian ruler with no pejorative connotations. But Plato and Aristotele did use it with a negative meaning implied, as they refered to a sovereign which does not make use of law to rule and hence is unjust and cruel to his subjetcs and others. Moreover, in ancient Greece, tyrants were influential individuals who had gathered enough support and people preferred them to rule over aristocrats, even tough they did not have legal rights to do so.
