7 minute activity
Note
After the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro faced significant challenges in consolidating his power. The initial years were marked by a series of purges and trials aimed at eliminating potential threats to the new regime. Batista loyalists were systematically targeted through public trials, imprisonment, and executions, serving as a warning to anyone who might oppose the new government.
The revolutionary government established special tribunals to try former officials and military personnel
Thousands were executed or imprisoned in the first few years after the revolution
These actions were justified as necessary measures to protect the revolution from counter-revolutionary forces
Analogy
Think of Castro's approach like a gardener removing weeds from a newly planted garden - he believed that eliminating potential threats was essential for the survival of his revolutionary 'garden.'
Note
The harsh treatment of Batista loyalists set a precedent for how the regime would deal with dissent in the future.
