Batista died in Guadalmina a place in the city of Marbella in Spain. In the article it says 'Guadalamina' instead of 'Guadalmina' which is the correct way to write it. I'm 100% sure because I live in Guadalmina in the city of Marbella and it is well known that the correct way of writing it is 'Guadalmina' and not 'Guadalamina'.

FYI, the link to Carlos Manuel de Céspedes points to an article about the father of the person that this article refers to.

"two days before a team of assassins from Castro's Cuba were allegedly planning to carry out his assassination.[30]" [30] American Experience: Fulgencio Batista by PBS.

The footnote links to a PBS page that does not mention any assassination squads.

Isn't it unlikely that after 14 years of no requests for extradition from the friendly Franco dictatorship, or kidnapping Eichmann style, and living in peace the guy dies just before a death squad can reach him?

Suggest this is false and should be removed unless it can be properly sourced.

I added fascist to the description of Batista in the introduction. 2601:589:4800:9090:D978:A6F1:5F7:FCDA (talk) 14:22, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
