Why did the Cuban Missile Crisis start?

the soviet union shipped weapons to cuba Most believe Soviet Premier Kruschev believed the young, newly-elected President Kennedy would not do anything about the Soviets' putt…ing strategic weapons in Cuba. The Cuban Missile Crisis occurred in October 1962. When the Soviet Union secretly put nuclear missiles on the island of Cuba, it nearly started a nuclear war between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. The missiles were discovered by routine spy-plane surveillance. The missiles were still in the process of being made launch-ready. However, President Kennedy had very little time to make a decision regarding what to do about it. His military advisers all but demanded a full-scale air strike, followed by an invasion of the island. Instead, President Kennedy ordered the U.S. Navy to "quarantine" the island by not allowing any Soviet ships to travel to Cuba. This, combined with diplomacy, forced Soviet Premier Kruschev's hand, and the missiles were withdrawn. Cuban President Fidel Castro wanted the Soviet Union to provide him strategic weapons to discourage the U.S. from attempting an attack on his country.
