Did it fit? The stages of revolution helped me truly analyze
all of the events in the revolution. I not only had to understand the key events, but
had to evaluate which part of the revolution they fit best in.
I did think that stages 4 and 5 needed to be switched to show the Cuban Revolution
Overall, I found this process helped me gain a better understanding of both the stages of revolution as well as the Cuban Revolution.
