	Fulgencio Batista, from The History of Cuba (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Ruben Fulgencio Batista Zaldívar was born in Cuba's Oriente Province on January 16 1901.
		Batista was so confident of his power that on May 15, 1955, he released Castro and the remaining survivors of the Moncada attack, hoping to dissuade some of his critics.
		Batista continued to rule with his usually confident iron fist, even after the landing of the Granma in December of 1956 (which brought the Castro brothers back to Cuba along with Che Guevara and marked the beginning of the armed conflict).

	LA NUEVA CUBA
		Batista's decision to release Castro and other political prisoners was made on the premise that the restoration of constitutional processes constituted a return to normality and that his political opponents would consequently take the opportunity to oppose him within the constitutional parameters.
		Batista took some of the guests with him and his wife (their children had already secretly left the country) as there were planes held in reserve (with pilots) on the estate, which had a special runway.
		Batista's Final Exile Taking initial refuge in the neighboring Dominican Republic, Batista attempted to organise an invasion of Cuba (this project is not to be confused with the abortive Bay of Pigs invasion of April 1961) but when the scheme fell through in August 1959, Batista and his family departed for Portugal.
