Actual history:
The Batista regime (1952–1959) was a corrupt, authoritarian dictatorship in Cuba led by Fulgencio Batista, following a military coup. Supported by the U.S., his government saw massive inequality, widespread gambling, and brutal suppression of dissent, sparking a revolution led by Fidel Castro that overthrew the regime on January 1, 1959.

Key Aspects of the Batista Regime:
Rise to Power: After serving as elected president (1940–1944), Batista staged a military coup on March 10, 1952, just months before scheduled elections, overthrowing President Carlos Prío Socarrás and dissolving the 1940 Constitution.
Corruption and Mafia Ties: The regime was characterized by extreme corruption, with strong links to the American Mafia, who controlled gambling, drug trafficking, and prostitution, especially in Havana.
U.S. Relations and Economy: Batista maintained strong ties with the U.S. government and businesses, which held massive interests in Cuba’s sugar plantations and public utilities. His regime prioritized foreign commercial interests, exacerbating inequality between rich landowners and poorer Cubans.
Repression and Human Rights Violations: Opposition was met with extreme violence. Batista used the Bureau for the Repression of Communist Activities and secret police to censor the media and conduct torture and public executions.
Downfall: Following mounting oppression and economic failure, support for revolutionary groups grew, particularly the 26th of July Movement. After years of guerrilla warfare led by Fidel Castro and Che Guevara, Batista fled to the Dominican Republic on January 1, 1959, ending his regime.
