AI notes: The Battle of the Hotel Nacional of Cuba occurred in 1933 amid the political chaos following the overthrow of President Gerardo Machado during the Cuban Revolution. The hotel became a strategic stronghold where rival factions clashed in a brief but intense fight for control, reflecting the broader power struggle engulfing Havana. This confrontation was part of the larger unrest that ultimately propelled Sergeant Fulgencio Batista to prominence, paving the way for his rise as Cuba’s military leader and future dictator.
