description There was no more exciting place to be on January 1 1959 than Havana, Cuba. It was the defining moment in the life of a nation, when all that came before it seemed to be a prelude. Fidel Castro led a revolution which had captivated an entire population and had swept a brutal tyrant from power.

This thesis explores the extent to which Cubans supported or opposed Batista as he took power and discarded of the Cuban democratic system in March 1952.
