Cuban dictator Fidel Castro was born near Biran on August 13, 1926. In 1959, he used guerilla warfare to successfully overthrow Cuban leader Batista, and was sworn in as prime minister of Cuba. As prime minister, Castro's government established covert military and economic relations with the Soviet Union, leading to the Cuban Missile Crisis. He served as prime minister until 1976, when he became president of Cuba.
