Brief Explanations
To determine the actions by Castro that led to the Bay of Pigs Invasion, we analyze each option:
- Cutting off diplomatic relations with the US: Not a direct trigger for the invasion.
- Issuing a trade embargo against the US: The US was more likely to impose embargoes, and this wasn't a key trigger.
- Establishing close ties with the Soviet Union: This increased Cold War tensions, alarming the US and contributing to the invasion plan.
- Seizing American properties: Part of nationalization, but the main economic action tied to tension was nationalizing businesses.
- Nationalizing American businesses: Along with seizing properties, this angered the US. However, the three correct actions are establishing close ties with the Soviet Union, seizing American properties, and nationalizing American businesses? Wait, no—correction: The three actions are: establishing close ties with the Soviet Union (escalated Cold War tensions, making US see Cuba as a Soviet ally), seizing American properties, and nationalizing American businesses? Wait, actually, the correct three are: establishing close ties with the Soviet Union, seizing American properties, and nationalizing American businesses?
