Explain why cuba became a crisis spot during the cold war?
Cuba in the Cold WarFollowing a revolution in 1959 Cuba adopted Communism, being the only state in the Americas to have a do so, or at least to have a Communist government that lasted. (In fact, it's still in office in 2006). An attempted invasion from the US ('Bay of Pigs' [and no it was not a bay full of floating pigs :^P]) was a fiasco and in 1962 Khrushchev tried to station long-range missiles on the island. This attempt led to the 'Cuban missile crisis' of 1962. When this began, the U.S. sent Fidel Castro a letter stating that the U.S. will remove their missiles from Turkey if Cuba remove theirs. Castro agreed to this and did so, marking an end to the Cuban Missile Crisis.
The Cuban missile crisis arose after the Soviets began?
The 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis arose after the Soviet Union began installing ballistic missiles at sites on the island of Cuba, with the United States protesting, the Soviet Union persisting, and then a naval blockade being thrown up by American naval forces to prevent successful delivery of still more missiles by the Soviet Navy. Reaching its height in late October of 1962, the crisis was resolved through careful, if also aggressive, diplomacy by the leaders of the Soviet Union (Khrushchev) and the United States (Kennedy).

What was the Cuban Missile Crisis and who was involved?
The Russians put missiles in Cuba and the United States demanded that they be removed. Russia refused so JFK put a naval boycott around the island not allowing anything into Cuba. We thought there would be a nuclear war, but it was finally settled and Russia pulled the missiles. Yet, Russia does still use Cuba as a port for their ships.

How didn't nuclear weapons prevent war?
Nuclear weapons only serve as a deterrent to war when both warring nations possess them. If only one nation has them or neither do, a conventional war is still very possible. That is why all of the Cold War wars occurred in third world countries where nuclear weapons were not present. In contrast, the Cuban Missile Crisis (and the corresponding Turkish Missile Issue) did not lead to war between the USA and the USSR specifically because both nations had nuclear weapons which could effectively serve as a deterrent to the other.
