Why did US cut ties with Cuba?

Answer 1

{| |- | There were numerous reasons for it. A large part of it was the nationalization of American owned property. The US felt that US citizens had been robbed of land and factories without reasonable compensation. And their friendship with Russia was not desirable. |}

Answer 2

The major sore point between the US and Cuba is the American embargo of goods which cannot be sent to Cuba or purchased from Cuba. This embargo has been in effect since the 1960s. President Obama has asked Congress to consider easing tensions with Cuba by removing some of the restrictions dealing with travel and trade with Cuba. Those that are now in effect include lifting all restrictions on transactions related to the travel of family members to Cuba, which would allow family members to travel to and from Cuba and the US, and to remove restrictions on the amount of money family members may send to relatives in Cuba. Opening up more relations with the Castro administration is a touchy subject due to the number of Cubans who have come to the United States to escape the Castro regime. Many are now American citizens and many have been born in the US and many still have family members and friends living in Cuba, some in prison for working against the Castro regime.

i think it had a reason in the 1960s Cuba went the way of Communism we had good reason not to recognize the new government under Castro. If we did we would have to give up a very strategic military base at the time at a time we were facing a real threat of nuclear annihilation .so what started out as a good idea became policy.and this sould change the best way to stop the last great holdout communist country in our backyard is us. friendly trade and tourism will make real change to cuba .

Answer 3

The Cubans are communist and that's not good. Also, because of the failure of the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis during and after Kennedy's presidency
