Mainly it was the fear of Fidel Castro taking power in Cuba , so close to the U.s.A. additional info The big concern was not so much Castro, but the deals that he made with the Russians. One deal was to let the Russians put missiles on Cuba and since Cuba is only 90 miles off of FLA shores this was too close for the U.S. This is why we had the Cuban Missile crisis.
