Which came first in history Cuban revolution or CIA discovery of nuclear missile sites in Cuba?
Castro's cuban revolution came first (President Eisenhower's term). In fact initially the US supported Castro as he promised to correct the injustices and corruption of the Batista regime and introduce democratic elections. It was only after Castro took over and instead created a communist government that the US terminated support for Castro and began supporting antiCastro groups based in Florida. Following the failed Bay of Pigs invasion planned by these antiCastro groups and the CIA, Castro turned to the USSR for defensive military aid. The USSR instead decided to send offensive missiles to Cuba. These were the missiles that resulted in the Cuban Missile Crisis (President Kennedy's term).
Why did the US name the blockade like that when the soviet ships could not enter Cuba?
Times were tense during the Cuban Missile Crisis to say the least; there were already several instances between U.S. and Soviet forces that could've led to a further escalation. A Naval Blockade is considered an act of war. To avoid that, the Kennedy Administration used the term "Naval Quarantine" (semantics), as the crisis played out also on the world stage in the United Nations. Moderates on both sides were doing everything possible to prevent the crisis from escalating into a full blown nuclear war.
