Why was the US afraid of a communist government in Cuba?
Cuba caused problems in the US since Castro was brought to power in 1959, in the revolution. Castro forced all US businesses and investments to leave Cuba. In retaliation, the USA refused to buy cubas main export; sugar. This was in the middle of the cold war, so the Soviet Union saw a way to gain influence in the carribean. The Soviet Union quickly offered to buy Cuban sugar and also provide machinery, oil and technological assistance to Cuba. Cuba agreed. Castro was now linked with the Soviet Union and he professed that his political views were towards communism. As a result of the Soviet involvment in Cuba, the USA broke off relations with Cuba in January 1961. Shortly after this, Cuba declared itself communist. This worried the USA, because communism was now closer to home then ever. This all then lead to the Bay of Pigs invasion and Cuban Missile Crisis.
Why didn't the US overthrow Castro?
Castro took charge of Cuba in 1959. The US tried to invade and overthrow Castro's government in the 1961 Bay of Pigs Invasion; the country repelled the US forces. Cuba had become allies with the Soviet Union in 1959, and after the failed US invasion attempt, the Soviet Union and Cuba agreed to secretly station nuclear missiles in Cuba. The US was already experiencing tension with the Soviet Union; if they attacked Cuba again, the Soviet Union/Cuba would react by initiating war via the missiles. The Cuban Missile Crisis brought the US to the brink of nuclear war with the Soviet Union, and after the removal of the missiles was negotiated, the US backed down because they didn't want tensions to heighten again. This happened during the Cold War, which started in 1947 and didn't end until 1991. The embargo set up by the US against Cuba in 1962 is still in effect today; other US interactions with Cuba have been minimal.
Why did the American leaders want to overthrow the government of fidel Castro?
Castro's first attempt was unsuccessful when he tried to overthrow Batista. Instead of overthrowing Batista, Fidel went to prison for 15 years. Fidel Castro went back to Cuba to start another revolution. So, he fought along with Ernest "Che" Guevara. Batista became less and less popular with the people because he was using the Mafia and the US government to prop himself up.
Why does Cuba allow the US to maintain a military presence in their country?
More than likely Cuba does not have much choice in the matter - it is the status quo. Plus, is Cuba even able to make America leave? Its also possible that Cuba gets some benefit from it and therefore does not want the US to leave.
Why did castro want to kill John F. Kennedy?
He didn't necessarily hate Fidel Castro, but America thought that Fidel was a communist, and because of Cuba was right next to America, they thought that is was "communism on their door step". Fidel was quite chummy with Khrushchev but NOT communist, and when America stopped trading with them, Khrushchev offered to step in and help them. Thi lead to Fidel becoming communist, and because Cuba was so close to America, they considered this as a sign that communism was spreading.
Why did Castro and his followers want to overthrow the cuban government?
