The Soviets provoked President Kennedy to quarantine Cuba by secretly placing nuclear missiles on the island, which brought the Cold War superpowers to the brink of nuclear confrontation. The discovery of these missiles by U.S. reconnaissance flights in October 1962 heightened tensions and prompted Kennedy to respond decisively. He imposed a naval quarantine, or "blockade," around Cuba to prevent further Soviet shipments of military equipment, aiming to protect U.S. national security and compel the removal of the missiles. This decisive action was a critical moment in the Cuban Missile Crisis.
