Luckily enough, he had the patience of a wise sage and a welcoming attitude to match. But at the end of the 19 th century, figures like Marti represented the ideals of not just Cuba but all of Latin America with his call for a united Latin America.
I pressed on by asking him what other Latin American nations can learn from Cuba by revolutionary means. However, this particular vision of the revolutionary path is impossible with the presence of U.
The triumphant revolution of Cuba had no party but separate movements, the most famous of course being the July 26th movement, but all movements worked together.
