During the cold war, the us and ussr had many conflicts, and the cuban missile crisis nearly led to war. why did the crisis start?

Cuba was and is a communist country. It is less than 100 miles from Florida. The United States tried to invade Cuba in April 1962. The invasion failed.

After that, the leaders of Cuba and the Soviet Union made a deal. The Soviet Union would put nuclear missiles in Cuba. That way the United States would not try to invade again. A missile is a rocket that blows up when it hits its target.

It did not take the United States long to find out about the missiles. On October 14, 1962, a US spy plane took pictures of the missile area in Cuba.

On October 22, President John F. Kennedy sent a letter to Nikita Khrushchev, the Soviet leader. Kennedy wanted to tell Khrushchev to take all Soviet weapons out of Cuba. That same day, Kennedy ordered what was called a naval “quarantine,” in which US Navy ships surrounded Cuba. He also spoke about the crisis on national television.
