The Invasion of Cuba happened when the Cubans attacked Silverwell with a ballistic missile because their Soviet superiors ordered them to. The missile destroyed a military base, which did not have many soldiers in it but was storing experimental vehicles. The missile also killed civilians, and so the Arulian public was outraged. They demanded that the government invade Cuba, and so a month after the attack the Arulian marines invaded. First they carpet bombed Havana, and second they invaded.
