Jan. 1 marked the 60th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution, when Fidel Castro’s armed uprising marched into Havana to oust then-dictator Fulgencio Batista. This pivotal moment in history would go on to mark the beginning of one of the longest surviving nondemocratic regimes in the world, surviving 12 U.S. presidents, and countless political and economic crises. Today’s historic milestone comes at a time of significant uncertainty for the island nation — a trait that has been the unfortunate norm of Cuba’s Revolution.
