Abstract

This study examines the influence of the Cuban Revolution on the ideology of the Universidad Central de Venezuela’s student movement during Rómulo Betancourt’s government. Findings reveal that admiration for the revolution led students from passive criticism to insurgent action. University autonomy facilitated radicalization, making UCV a stronghold for revolutionary struggle.
