Fulgencio Batista, Seized Power on The island, Proclaimed himself President
Time: Mar, 1952
Place: Havana, Cuba
Details: In March 1952, a Cuban general and politician, Fulgencio Batista, seized power on the island, proclaimed himself president and deposed the discredited president Carlos Prío Socarrás of the Partido Auténtico. Batista canceled the planned presidential elections, and described his new system as "disciplined democracy." Although Batista gained some popular support, many Cubans saw it as the establishment of a one-man dictatorship. Many opponents of the Batista regime took to armed rebellion in an attempt to oust the government, sparking the Cuban Revolution.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
