ss at some points they had to bail water caused by a leak and at another a man fell overboard delaying their journey 83 the plan had been for the crossing to take five days and on the granma s scheduled day of arrival 30 november mr 26 7 members under frank país led an armed uprising in santiago and manzanillo however the granma s journey ultimately lasted seven days and with castro and his men unable to provide reinforcements país and his militants dispersed after two days of intermittent attacks 84 guerrilla war 1956 1959 main articles landing of the granma operation verano and triumph of the revolution the thickly forested mountain range of the sierra maestra from where castro and his revolutionaries led guerrilla attacks against batista s forces for two years castro biographer robert e quirk noted that there was no better place to hide in all the island 85 the granma ran aground in a mangrove swamp at playa las coloradas close to los cayuelos on 2 december 1956 fleeing inland its crew headed for the forested mountain range of oriente s sierra maestra being repeatedly attacked by batista s troops 86 upon arrival castro discovered that only 19 rebels had made it to their destination the rest having been killed or captured 87 setting up an encampment the survivors included the castros che guevara and camilo cienfuegos 88 they began launching raids on small army posts to obtain weaponry and in january 1957 they overran the outpost at la plata treating any soldiers that they wounded but executing chicho osorio the local mayoral land company overseer who was despised by the local peasants and who boasted of killing one of castro s rebels 89 osorio s execution aided the rebels in gaining the trust of locals although they largely remained unenthusiastic and suspicious of the revolutionaries 90 as trust grew some locals joined the rebels although most new recruits came from urban areas 91 with volunteers boosting the rebel forces to over 200 in july 1957 castro divided his army into three columns commanded by himself his brother and guevara 92 the mr 26 7 members operating in urban areas continued agitation sending supplies to castro and on 16 february 1957 he met with other senior members to discuss tactics here he met celia sánchez who would become a close friend 93 map showing key locations in the sierra maestra during the 1958 stage of the cuban revolution across cuba anti batista groups carried out bombings and sabotage police responded with mass arrests torture and extrajudicial executions 94 in march 1957 the dre launched a failed attack on the presidential palace during which antonio was shot dead 94 batista s government often resorted to brutal methods to keep cuba s cities under control in the sierra maestra mountains castro was joined by frank sturgis who offered to train castro s troops in guerrilla warfare castro accepted the offer but he also had an immediate need for guns and ammunition so sturgis became a gunrunner sturgis purchased boatloads of weapons and ammunition from central intelligence agency cia weapons expert samuel cummings international armament corporation in alexandria virginia sturgis opened a training camp in the sierra maestra mountains where he taught che guevara and other 26 july movement rebel soldiers guerrilla warfare 95 frank país was also killed leaving castro the mr 26 7 s unchallenged leader 96 although guevara and raúl were well known for their marxist leninist views castro hid his hoping to gain the support of less radical revolutionaries 97 in 1957 he met with leading members of the partido ortodoxo raúl chibás and felipe pazos authoring the sierra maestra manifesto in which they demanded that a provisional civilian government be set up to implement moderate agrarian reform industrialization and a literacy campaign before holding multiparty elections 97 as cuba s press was censored castro contacted foreign media to spread his message he became a celebrity after being interviewed by herbert matthews a journalist from the new york times 98 reporters from cbs and paris match soon followed 99 castro right with fellow revolutionary camilo cienfuegos entering havana on 8 january 1959 castro s guerrillas increased their attacks on military outposts forcing the government to withdraw from the sierra maestra region and by spring 1958 the rebels controlled a hospital schools a printing press slaughterhouse land mine factory and a cigar making factory 100 by 1958 batista was under increasing pressure a result of his military failures coupled with increasing domestic and foreign criticism surrounding his administration s press censorship torture and extrajudicial executions 101 influenced by anti batista sentiment among their citizens the us government ceased supplying him with weaponry 101 the opposition called a general strike accompanied by armed attacks from the mr 26 7 beginning on 9 april it received strong support in central and eastern cuba but little elsewhere 102 batista responded with an all out attack operation verano in which the army aerially bombarded forested areas and villages suspected of aiding the militants while 10 000 soldiers commanded by general eulogio cantillo surrounded the sierra maestra driving north to the rebel encampments 103 despite their numerical and technological superiority the army had no experience with guerrilla warfare and castro halted their offensive using land mines and ambushes 103 many of batista s soldiers defected to castro s rebels who also benefited from local popular support 104 in the summer the mr 26 7 went on the offensive pushing the army out of the mountains with castro using his columns in a pincer movement to surround the main army concentration in santiago by november castro s forces controlled most of oriente and las villas and divided cuba in two by closing major roads and rail lines severely disadvantaging batista 105 the us instructed cantillo to oust batista due to fears in washington that castro was a socialist 106 which were exacerbated by the association between nationalist and communist movements in latin america and the links between the cold war and decolonization 107 by this time the great majority of cuban people had turned against the batista regime ambassador to cuba e t smith who felt the whole cia mission had become too close to the mr 26 7 movement 108 personally went to batista and informed him that the us would no longer support him and felt he no longer could control the situation in cuba general cantillo secretly agreed to a ceasefire with castro promising that batista would be tried as a war criminal 106 however batista was warned and fled into exile with over us 300 million on 31 december 1958 109 cantillo entered havana s presidential palace proclaimed the supreme court judge carlos piedra to be president and began appointing the new government 110 furious castro ended the ceasefire 111 and ordered cantillo s arrest by sympathetic figures in the army 112 accompanying celebrations at news of batista s downfall on 1 january 1959 castro ordered the mr 26 7 to prevent widespread looting and vandalism 113 cienfuegos and guevara led their columns into havana on 2 january while castro entered santiago and gave a speech invoking the wars of independence 114 heading toward havana he greeted

that urrutia had been selected by popular election most of urrutia s cabinet were mr 26 7 members 117 entering havana castro proclaimed himself representative of the rebel armed forces of the presidency setting up home and office in the penthouse of the havana hilton hotel 118 castro exercised a great deal of influence over urrutia s regime now ruling by decree he ensured the government implemented policies to cut corruption and fight illiteracy and that it attempted to remove batistanos from positions of power by dismissing congress and barring all those elected in the rigged elections of 1954 and 1958 from future office he then pushed urrutia to issue a temporary ban on political parties he repeatedly said that they would eventually hold multiparty elections 119 although repeatedly denying that he was a communist to the press he began clandestinely meeting members of the psp to discuss the creation of a socialist state 120 we are not executing innocent people or political opponents we are executing murderers and they deserve it castro s response to his critics regarding the mass executions 1959 121 in suppressing the revolution batista s government had killed thousands of cubans castro and influential sectors of the press put the death toll at 20 000 but a list of victims published shortly after the revolution contained only 898 names over half of them combatants 122 more recent estimates place the death toll between 1 000 123 and 4 000 124 in response to popular uproar which demanded that those responsible be brought to justice castro helped to set up many trials resulting in hundreds of executions although popular domestically critics in particular the us press argued that many were not fair trials castro responded that revolutionary justice is not based on legal precepts but on moral conviction 125 acclaimed by many across latin america he travelled to venezuela where he met with president elect rómulo betancourt unsuccessfully requesting a loan and a new deal for venezuelan oil 126 returning home an argument between castro and senior government figures broke out he was infuriated that the government had left thousands unemployed by closing down casinos and brothels as a result prime minister josé miró cardona resigned going into exile in the us and joining the anti castro movement 127 on 16 february 1959 castro was sworn in as prime minister of cuba 128 castro also appointed himself president of the national tourist industry introducing unsuccessful measures to encourage african american tourists to visit advertising cuba as a tropical paradise free of racial discrimination 129 judges and politicians had their pay reduced while low level civil servants saw theirs raised 130 and in march 1959 castro declared rents for those who paid less than 100 a month halved 131 the cuban government also began to expropriate the casinos and properties from mafia leaders and taking millions in cash before his death russian american gangster meyer lansky said cuba ruined him 132 on 9 april castro announced that the elections which the 26th of july movement had promised would occur after the revolution would be postponed so that the provisional government could focus on domestic reform castro announced this electoral delay with the slogan revolution first elections later 133 134 135 later in april he visited the us on a charm offensive where president dwight d eisenhower would not meet with him but instead sent vice president richard nixon whom castro instantly disliked 136 after meeting castro nixon described him to eisenhower the one fact we can be sure of is that castro has those indefinable qualities which made him a leader of men whatever we may think of him he is going to be a great factor in the development of cuba and very possibly in latin american affairs generally he seems to be sincere he is either incredibly naive about communism or under communist discipline my guess is the former his ideas as to how to run a government or an economy are less developed than those of almost any world figure i have met in fifty countries but because he has the power to lead we have no choice but at least try to orient him in the right direction 137 cbc radio canada s journalist and future premier of quebec rené lévesque interviews castro during his trip to montreal in late april 1959 proceeding to canada 138 139 140 trinidad brazil uruguay and argentina castro attended an economic conference in buenos aires unsuccessfully proposing a 30 billion us funded marshall plan for latin america 141

peasants received title deeds as large land holdings were broken up popular among the working class it alienated the richer landowners including castro s own mother 142 whose farmlands were taken 143 within a year castro and his government had effectively redistributed 15 per cent of the nation s wealth declaring that the revolution is the dictatorship of the exploited against the exploiters 144 castro and indonesian president sukarno in havana 1960 castro undertook many foreign visits during his initial years in power in the summer of 1959 fidel began nationalizing plantation lands owned by

oil refinement over the objection of foreign investors who owned stakes in these commodities 148 149 although then refusing to categorize his regime as socialist and repeatedly denying being a communist castro appointed marxists to senior government and military positions president urrutia increasingly expressed concern with the rising influence of marxism angered castro in turn announced his resignation as prime minister on 18 july blaming urrutia for complicating government with his fevered anti communism over 500 000 castro supporters surrounded the presidential palace demanding urrutia s resignation which he submitted on 23 july castro resumed his premiership and appointed marxist osvaldo dorticós as president 150 on 19 october 1959 army commander huber matos wrote a
