built an economy based on capitalism.

Explanation

After the 1959 revolution, Fidel Castro’s government moved toward communism and developed close ties with the Soviet Union. This alliance brought Cuba into conflict with the United States, so the correct choice is “formed an alliance with the Soviet Union.” Batista was overthrown, and Cuba did not build a capitalist economy.
