The event occured due to the US supported leader, Batista, being overthrown by Fidel Castro, who showed his sympathy towards the USSR.

In the midst of the ongoing tension between the US and the USSR, the Soviets built missile launchers in Cuba pointed at the US, further increasing tension and eventually, making up the Cuban Missile Crisis.
