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).
You can't be serious.
It was only a crisis, not a war. It's called the "Cuban Missile Crisis." Because it almost started a war with the Soviet Union; which was going to be a nuclear war. It took place as the name implies on the island of Cuba which is about 90 miles off the Southern tip of Florida.Cuba Maybe

That's a "chicken or the egg" question. The events began to unfold when it was discovered the Soviets had built missile launching sites in Cuba. Then a Soviet freighter was discovered steaming to Cuba with what appeared to missiles on deck. Only then, did the US decided to set up a blockade to stop the freighter's arrival, which precipitated the show down between Kennedy and Kruschev. So I would say the Soviets started it.
