Patria o Muerte, Venceremos

Patria o Muerte, Venceremos is an official state motto of Cuba adopted since 1960.

Official motto posted behind the image of Fidel Castro in Havana (2009).

The origin of the motto was derived from a speech by Revolutionary Leader Fidel Castro before the blood of the workers and soldiers who perished in the sabotage of the French steamship La Coubre on March 5, 1960 during the proclamation rally at Havana. The motto was described for the bloodshed of Cuban Revolution and stronghood of socialism in Cuba. [1] The motto was originally descripted as Patria o Muerte and added with a word Veneceremos in July 1960 during the Congress of the National Federation of Barber and Hairdressing Workers, he would complete the sentence that has been the essence ever since of the irreducible position of the Cuban Revolution and of its infinite faith in victory.[2]

The cry of the motto is used during rallys and official occasions organized by the state.
