Biological weapons

“A US Army operating manual from 1956 stated explicitly that biological and chemical warfare were an integral operating portion of US military strategy, were not restricted in any way, and that Congress had given the military “First Strike” authority on their use. In 1959, an attempt by Congress to remove this first-strike authority was defeated by the White House and bio-chemical weapons expenditures increased from $75 million to almost $350 million.”
Larry Romanoff (2020) 

Cuban Revolution

On February 16, 1959, Fidel Castro was sworn in as Prime Minister of Cuba.
