I'll just give you some key points on the topic:
-This was during Castro's reign in Cuba
-The Soviet Union had been doing all these things for Cuba, so they basically asked Castro, "hey, can we put some missiles on your land and aim them at the US...just in case we ever need to use them" and you have to remember that both the USSR and Cuba are not digging the US right now.
-So we are getting suspicious of Cuba, so we fly some planes over to check to make sure everything is doing alright, and what do we see but missiles?
-We do not like this one bit, but luckily, Kennedy was able to get the missiles removed from cuba.
-One of the biggest things to keep in mind: If they would have used their missiles, we would not be here right now.
and imagine the state of panic that everyone was in because of this issue.
hope that helps!
