"It increased Americans' fear of communist aggression."

When Fidel Castro's revolution brought a communist government to power in Cuba and aligned with the Soviet Union, it heightened U.S. fears of communism spreading in the Western Hemisphere. That fear produced events and responses such as the Bay of Pigs invasion, the U.S. embargo on Cuba, the Cuban Missile Crisis (a major Cold War flashpoint), and increased U.S. involvement in Latin America to counter perceived communist threats.
