McCarthy’s power and influence stemmed directly from his own personality. What does this excerpt tell you about the kind of man he was?
This is a bit complicated:
Cuba was under Fulgencio Batista's reign by the time of Castro's rise. Cuba was a capitalist country at that point that was basically the US' puppet. Fidel Castro and his "guerrillas" were obviously against the system that was being employed for many reasons. I believe one of the main reasons was that Batista's Cuba was a corrupt one. There were many under-the-books assassinations just because they were a threat to Batista, etc. Overall, Cuba was a very corrupt and injust country at that point and that is why Fidel decided to fight against it, beginning with the "27 de julio movement" alongside Ernesto "Ché" Guevara.
One way that politics/society is different today as in 1939 is that in 1939 voting wasnt the same for some people, but today everyone has rights to vote. One way that is the same is that males have been president since 1939- today.
