By firing the first shot at an armed Federal postition which was guarding a strategic seaport. Arguable.

Then I guess you wouldn't have a problem with Cuba bombarding Gitmo into surrender. That wouldn't be cause for war at all.

Frankly, I wouldn't have been surprised if Castro had tried to take over Gitmo. Of course he didn't because he didn't have a chance.
