Nationalism and the Cuban Revolution

http://toglobalist.org/2010/11/cubas-emerging-blogosphere/

Nationalism is the feeling of loyalty and pride in one’s country; it often comes with the belief that it is better and has more importance than other countries. The Cuban Revolution was a very nationalistic and anti-corruption movement. Cuba fought its own war and was able to successfully resist US pressure (brought to them by Fulgencio Batista).  An example of a nationalistic person (originally)  would be Fidel Castro who became a national hero and the platform of the Movimiento 26 de julio. He took extraordinary risks, assembled a guerrilla warfare, and fought with devotion to end Batista's control over Cuba.
