There were many reasons why tension existed between the United States and Cuba in the 1950â??s, but one of the factors that did not cause this tension was the building up of a Cuban army.

Larry Cuba was born in 1950.
The establishment of a communist government increased tensions when Russia sent Cuba materials to build missile launch sites.
Fidel Castro's communist revolution. The US was very leery about having a communist country just a few miles from their shores.
The Cuban Missile Crisis helped to escalate and de-escalate tensions with the Soviet Union. It escalated the tensions because the Soviet Union repeatedly told the US that they would not place missiles in Cuba and that there was no reason for concern and then they went ahead and did it anyway. This caused tensions to escalate because the US and other countries could no longer trust the Soviet Union. Tensions de-escalated because the US was able to gain the support of so many other countries. This showed the Soviet Union that they had no support and that their testing the US and placing missiles in different places would not be tolerated at all. So, they removed their missiles from Cuba and the tensions partially de-escalated.
