The Moncada Barracks Attack
Castro's first move was to seize the Moncada military barracks
where Batista troops were staying. However, Castro’s plan
backfired; his group did not stand the chance of going against
Batista’s men who were armed and ready. Castro was arrested, but he
used his charisma to spread his message, revolt against Batista’s
leadership, and get out of jail much quicker.
