Why did the Soviet Union place missiles in cuba?
It was a direct threat to the United States - and a power move to show they could place missles within 90 miles of their border.There are actually 5 possible reasons:1. To Bargain With The USA-Krushchev may have put them there so that he had something against the USA and good agree on removing them in return for some American concessions.2. To Test The USA-The missiles could have been put there to see how string the Americans really were, whether they would back off or face up. The USSR may have wanted to test out Kennedy3. To Trap The USA-The missiles could've been a trap and Krushchev may have wanted the Americans to find them and be drawn into a nuclear war. He didn't even try to hide them.4. To Defend Cuba-The missiles could have been their to genuinely defend Cuba5. To Get The Upper Hand In The Arms Race-The missiles were put there so that the Soviet Union was at least level with the USA in the Arms Race. With their missiles in Cuba and America's missiles in Turkey, it was less likely the USA would ever launch a 'first strike' against the USSR.
Why did the US want the Soviet Union to take out missile launchers from cuba?
Because we had been on the verge of a nuclear war with the Soviet Union for a while. The U.S had tried to assassinate Castro (Cuba's leader) during the Bay of Pigs. Kennedy also said some things that made the Soviet Leader, Khrushchev angry. So, Castro started to buddy up to Khrushchev. The U.S had several military bases throughout the word and our nuclear weapons were all aimed at the Soviet Union but the Soviets didn't have a place to be able to readily attack the U.S. Khrushchev just needed "one place" so he offered to arm Cuba with missiles. Kennedy wanted the missiles out of Cuba to prevent nuclear war.
