The correct answer is A. Dictatorship.
Explanation:
Fulgencio Batista was a Cuban president and dictator. He ruled Cuba from 1934 to 1959, initially by appointing front men as presidents, later by electing himself as president and finally as dictator. His government was overthrown by Fidel Castro and his guerrillas.
The Batista administration was approved by the US, shortly afterwards, although he had pledged allegiance to the Cuban constitution, he announced that some rights would be temporarily withdrawn and also forbade the right to strike. He organized Cuba to make great national gains. Under his rule, Havana became a real gambling city where prostitution was rampant and organized crime, especially the American mafia, ruled. American tourists could enjoy themselves in ways that were not possible at home.
