It's hard to say that X led to Y led to Z.

The chronology, for what it's worth, was:

April 1961: Bay of Pigs
February 1962: Economic embargo
October 1962: Cuban Missile Crisis
February 1963: Travel restrictions, Cuban assets in US frozen

Again, it's hard to say that one event led directly to another. I think the bigger issue is that the Cuban American population in Florida was making a lot of noise around that time. One of the biggest changes today is that there's a new generation of Cuban Americans that have never been to Cuba and don't have the memory of fleeing Castro.
