Was fulgencio batista a bad person?

Answer 1

It depends what do you understand by a "bad" person. Usually a public man can't be measured by "normal" categories. Abraham Lincoln was a marvelous person, but the war that divided the United States was probably the most terrible isue in the history of the Country. Batista was a self-made person. He was as poor as it could be, his father never gave him his name. He became a president and was derrocated by a revolution lidered by a man born rich. Batista had black ascendents. Castro was the son of a white spaniard. United States denied Batista arms to fight the comunist revolution and never permitted Batista to live in this Country after he was derrocated, even when he had a house hear, but permitted that arms a men were sent to Castro's guerrilla. Perhaps because Batista was a mulatto and Castro white? Who knows?
