The Cuban Revolution (1959) led to the establishment of a one‑party, Marxist‑Leninist socialist state under Fidel Castro. Key points:

- After overthrowing Fulgencio Batista in 1959, the revolutionary government increasingly nationalized the economy and aligned with the Soviet Union.
- By the early 1960s the leadership declared itself socialist/Marxist‑Leninist; the Communist Party of Cuba was formally created in 1965.
- The 1976 constitution codified Cuba as a socialist state with the Communist Party as the “leading force” of society and government, a centrally planned economy, and state ownership/control of major means of production.
- Political pluralism was effectively ended: Cuba remains a one‑party state with limited organized opposition, though it has implemented some market‑oriented economic reforms since the 1990s.
