What factors contributed to Cuba going Communist?

Answer 2

The US wanted the (new) goverment of Fidel Castro to be a puppet goverment in favor of the US goverment like his predecessor Batista. Castro didn't accept the US conditions and nationalized all US property when the US threatened to invade Cuba , Castro turned to the former Soviet Union for help what ended in the Cuban missile crisis. One of the important factors was the US refusal to negotiate on equal terms with Cuba. The original revolution wasn't a communist revolution but rather an new indepandance war one of the many that happened before in Cuba.
