Cuban revolutionary leader who established a communist regime that governed the island for decades, known for nationalizing U.S. assets in 1960 and implementing restrictive emigration policies that shaped U.S.-Cuba relations. He served as president for approximately 50 years before retiring in 2020 due to ill health, and oversaw significant military interventions abroad, including independent deployments of Cuban troops to Angola.
