The US never invaded Cuba though.

Well, not officially and certainly not effectively.

Umm… Bay of Pigs? Which is what led to the Cuban missile crisis, along with the installation of nuclear capable ballistic missiles in Turkey.

The US would have invaded Cuba during the Cuban missile crisis, if Khrushchev hadn’t backed down.

Bay of pigs was not an official invasion and it certainly was not effective, hence my comment.

Well, they tried. And botched it. And almost started an nuclear war over a sea blockade of Cuba back then.

But the US did put a blockade around Cuba. Any ships going to/from Cuba could be searched by the US.
