Answer 1

The U.S. reaction to the Cuban revolution of 1959 resulted in the imposition of an economic embargo, the Bay of Pigs invasion, and support for anti-Castro groups. However, the U.S. did not establish diplomatic relations with Cuba.

Step-by-step explanation:

The consequence of the U.S. reaction to the Cuban revolution of 1959 that was not a result of their actions is:

1. The U.S. established diplomatic relations with Cuba.

The U.S. imposed an economic embargo on Cuba as a response to Castro's policies of nationalizing businesses and property. They also attempted to overthrow the Cuban government through the Bay of Pigs invasion, which ultimately failed. In addition, the U.S. supported anti-Castro groups in Cuba. However, they did not establish diplomatic relations with Cuba. This decision further strained the relations between the United States and Cuba.
