Government Influence-Cubans

During his presidency, Kennedy went after Cuba hard with the Bay of Pigs invasion and the Cuban Missile Crisis. Since Cuba was left out of the loop during the Missile Crisis and it involved their own country, that could have caused some resentment to build up. Also the order to murder Kennedy may have been sent straight from Fidel Castro, who may have felt he was in a kill or be killed situation with Kennedy after the Bay of Pigs and the possibility of getting bombed during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Since he could have viewed these as attempts on his own life and an attempt to end his communist regime, Castro went after Kennedy and the strongest threat to communism in the world.
