Read the following passage:"Batista led one last offensive against the rebels in the east that summer. Within a matter of months, most of his troops had deserted or defected to the rebels. In December of that year, the U.S. government sent representatives to negotiate with Batista. They hoped to convince him to resign to prevent the whole government from being overthrown. Batista refused. Overwhelming public support for the rebels forced him to leave the country on December 31, 1958. Within days, Fidel Castro entered Havana and began directing Cuba's new government."
