Who was the dictator of Cuba?

• A. Fulgencio Batista
• B. Che Guevara
• C. Raul Castro
• D. Fidel Castro

Answer: (D)

This question tests understanding of who held power in Cuba after the revolution. Fidel Castro led the movement that toppled Fulgencio Batista in 1959 and then established a one-party, socialist government, ruling Cuba for decades and shaping the country’s politics and economy. He remained the central figure in Cuban leadership for a long time, which is why he is identified as the dictator of Cuba in this context. Che Guevara was a key revolutionary ally but did not serve as head of state. Raul Castro did step into leadership later, but his role came after Fidel’s long rule. Batista was the dictator before the revolution, not after.
