Wasn't it because Michael had Moe Green killed?

Moe green was his boy...and he also thought Michael was getting too powerful.

Because he was pretending not to be an admin.

Because Hyman Roth did business with Michael Corleone, Hyman Roth respected Michael Corleone, but Hyman Roth never trusted Michael Corleone.

Or his German-Irish messenger boy Tom Hagen.

I thought it was because MC killed the heads of the other families at the end of the Godfather and grabbed so much power.

Roth wanted to kill Michael in the hopes that Fredo would take over as Don so that there would be a more compliant Corleone for the Havana negotiations.

Yeah, Fredo would have been easily manipulated or maybe even eliminated. It didn't help that Michael killed Moe Green. Roth operated like he was going to rule forever.
