Question

Why might communism be seen as a threat at the time President kennedy took office?​

Answer 1

Under President Dwight Eisenhower, the C.I.A. had prepared a plan for an invasion of Cuba. Cuban exiles covertly trained and armed by the United States would attack Cuba's coast at the Bay of Pigs. Intelligence analysts believed that the Cuban people would rise up in support of the invaders and topple Castro.
