-They fear Cuba will inspire others to rise up against US domination.

Castro told the Cuban people that the US was afraid of a Cuban Revolution because it would inspire communism in the US. This explanation gave pride to the Cuban revolutionaries and explained why the US was reacting harshly to the revolution. The US placed trade embargoes on Cuba and even moved toward military protections against the new Cuban communist government.
