<human>:  What is the history of the Cuban Revolution?
<bot>: The Cuban Revolution was a revolution led by Fidel Castro, which took place in Cuba in 1959. It was aimed at overthrowing the US-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista, who had become increasingly oppressive towards the Cuban people. The Revolution initially began in 1953 when Castro, along with his brother Raul and Ernesto 'Che' Guevara, led a guerrilla movement in the Sierra Maestra mountains to overthrow the Batista regime. In 1959, the revolutionaries successfully overthrew Batista, with Castro becoming the Cuban Prime Minister and then President. Since then, Cuban politics have been dominated by the communist ideals of Fidel Castro. After the Revolution, Castro and the Cuban government implemented social and economic reforms, such as establishing a universal healthcare system and providing education to all citizens. The Cuban Revolution continues to shape Cuban politics and culture today.
