Answer 1

Fidel Castro took over power in Cuba in 1959 and established a Marxist dictatorship.

Step-by-step explanation:

True. Fidel Castro took over power in Cuba in 1959 after leading a successful revolution against the regime of Fulgencio Batista. While he initially promised democratic reforms and improved conditions for workers, Castro ultimately established a Marxist dictatorship and did not hold free elections. He cracked down on dissent, executed supporters of the previous regime, and suppressed free speech. Castro handed over power to his brother Raúl in 2006.
