Why did the US wish to attain a strong influence in cuba?
Cuba was, and is run, by a Communist government that used to have direct ties to the Soviet Union, until the Soviet Union gave up on Communism in the 1960s'. In the 1962, Cuba threatened the USA with nuclear missiles, given to them from the Russians. The USA told Russia to pull the nuclear missiles out of Cuba, or else! The Russians blinked, and took the missiles out of Cuba. The USA then took Our missiles out of Turkey. To be honest, before Fidel Castro installed a Communist government in Cuba, the government of Cuba was run by a corrupt dictator named Batista. In many ways, life in Cuba is better under Castro than it was under Batista. Cuba was not a great place to live when the government was corrupt & bought and sold to the highest bidder under Batista. With a leader like Batista, it is little wonder that Fidel Castro got the support of many of the Cuban people.
