Which of this statement is true?

Question

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

Answer 1

The true statement is: Fidel Castro became a communist through the friendship and support offered by the Soviet Union.

Initially, Castro's revolution aimed to overthrow the Batista government and address issues like poverty and inequality, but over time, he sought support from the Soviet Union, especially after the U.S. cut off economic assistance to Cuba. Castro embraced communist ideology as a result of this alliance and the geopolitical circumstances of the Cold War.
