Why did Fidel Castro want to get help from the Soviet Union?
Fidel Castro sought help from the Soviet Union primarily for economic and military support following the Cuban Revolution, which established a communist government in Cuba. The U.S. imposed trade embargoes and hostile policies against Cuba, prompting Castro to turn to the USSR for aid. The Soviet Union provided essential resources, including military equipment and financial assistance, which strengthened Castro's regime and allowed it to withstand U.S. pressure. Additionally, alignment with the Soviet bloc was part of Castro's broader ideological commitment to communism.
What event prior to the Cuban missile crisis caused Fidel Castro to look to the Soviet union for military help?
Prior to the Cuban Missile Crisis, the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion in April 1961 significantly influenced Fidel Castro's decision to seek military support from the Soviet Union.

In response to this threat, Castro sought military assistance from the Soviet Union to bolster his regime and deter potential future invasions. This alignment ultimately led to the installation of Soviet missiles in Cuba, escalating tensions between the U.S. and the USSR.

In the Bay of Pigs invasion who was involved?
The United States and Cuba. After Fidel Castro overthrew dictator Fulgencio Batista in 1959, the CIA supported an attack by Cuban refugees in April, 1961, to attempt to seize control from Castro. The relatively small and unsupported operation failed after 3 days of fighting. The Kennedy administration, though involved in its planning, did not directly use US Military forces except as a diversion. After the Cuban Revolution, Castro forged strong ties with the Soviet Union which was engaged in a Cold War with the United States. The plan to invade Cuba to overthrow Castro was initiated during the Eisenhower Administration. Eisenhower appropriated more than $13M in funding. The CIA organized the operation with the help of the Mafia and various Cuban revolutionary forces. Upon his election, President Kennedy gave his consent to the long planned invasion. The failed invasion strengthened Castro's administration. As part of the 1962 agreement that ended the Cuban Missile Crisis, the US pledged not to seek the removal of Castro's government by force.
