Document Summary
*thanks to all those who contributed and good luck! History: the date of an assault planned by the rebellion lead by fidel castro on the. Moncada barracks with purpose of eventually overthrowing batista. However this attack failed and castro was incarcerated until 1955. During this time he is gloriously quoted with saying history will absolve me in references to his desires to eventually lead the cuban people. This date eventually became the title of the gorilla movement lead by castro and. Che greuvera which lead to the topple of the bastia government. The us even began to support castro in the toppling of batista and even established an arms embargo on cuba in march 1958. The cultural significance of the date july 26th resides in the naming of the movement that eventually led to the over through of bastista and the instatement of castro the leader of the cuban people.
