Answer:

The right answer is Fulgencio Batista.

Step-by-step explanation:

Batista was a strongman who came to power twice. First as an elected president in the 1940s, then again as a de facto ruler in 1952. The US government gave him its support. He stayed in power until 1959, when guerrilla leader Fidel Castro and his Movement July 26 (Movimiento 26 de Julio in Spanish) toppled him by force.
