Answer

1. Cuba was a communist country.5. Cuba was allied with the Soviet Union.

Explanation

The primary motivation behind the United States' desire to overthrow Fidel Castro was due to the geopolitical environment of the Cold War with a more specific concern being Cuba's close alliance with communist Soviet Union. This signified a potential security threat to the U.S., being in such close proximity to a communist ally of their biggest adversary, and represented the fear of the Domino Theory, which postulated the spread of communism throughout regions if not contained. Hence, the reason relating to Cuba being a communist country and that they were allied with the Soviet Union are logically sound.On the contrary, while Castro's government encouraged and supported revolutionary movements around the world, including Angola, Cuba didn't specifically attempt to take over that country. So, this statement is not correct.The propositions regarding Cuba threatening war with the United States and wanting to reinstall Batista as the dictator is historically inaccurate. Batista was a dictator that Castro himself dethroned, and implementing Batista again would defy the very revolution that brought Castro to power. Also, while there was a significant degree of tensions and hostilities between the U.S. and Cuba especially post-Cuban missile crisis, Cuba (considering its position VS U.S.) never threatened outright war.
