Which of this statement is true?

Question

Fidel Castro became a communist through the friendship and support offered by the Soviet Union
Fidel Castro was a committed communist before he became leader of Cuba
Fidel Castro was forced to turn communist because of threats from the Soviet Union
Fidel Castro was a pro-capitalist

Answer 1

The statement that is true is: Fidel Castro was a committed communist before he became leader of Cuba.

While Castro initially presented himself as a nationalist and anti-imperialist, he did have Marxist influences and connections to communism prior to fully aligning with the ideology after the 1959 Cuban Revolution. His regime eventually embraced communism, especially with support from the Soviet Union, but he was already ideologically inclined towards leftist ideas before officially assuming power.
