In November 25, 2016 the long time Cuban leader Fidel Castro died at the age of 90. He led the overthrow of the Batista dictatorship of Cuba in 1959 and along with his brother Raul has been the face of the Cuban government ever since. Castro made Cuba the first Communist country in the Western Hemisphere. He brought social reforms to Cuba, but was criticized for oppressing human rights and freedom of speech. During his time in office, thousands of Cubans sought exile in the United States.
