Perspective: A detailed look at Castro’s rise, decades in power

Castro’s influence has been immense, all out of proportion to the 44,218-square-mile island nation he controlled. He pushed the world to the brink of nuclear war in 1962 during the so-called Cuban Missile Crisis. He did more to change Florida than even the early conquistadors, for his revolution touched off waves of emigration from Cuba to the United States that transformed the state. Florida is now 15 percent Hispanic.

Like a skillful matador baiting a maddened bull, he was able to tease, provoke, infuriate and blind his giant neighbor 90 miles to the north for over 40 years, adroitly employing a U.S. trade embargo to his own advantage, as proof of American bullying and as a boost to Cuban revolutionary pride and independence.”*
