Durring this period:
The USA and its freinds in Europe had missles litterally 5 miles from Soviet Russian Territory.
At the time Russia did not have a short flight response in place to attack the USA.
This meant the USA could launch a Nuecular strike at Russia and Russia could not respond against the USA for several hours and the USA could Likely mount a good defense and prevent an effective atack.
So putting missles in Cuba seemed like it would "balance" the deterent.

How did the US react to the missiles in cuba?
Kennedy responded to Soviet missiles in Cuba by a naval quarantine of Cuba to prevent the shipment of new missiles coupled with nuclear threat. When soviet ships carrying missiles were near to Cuba, the were stopped by American ships and ordered to turn back. No one in the US knew what the Soviets might do, but they turned back peacefully.There have already been tensions between Cuba and the US ever since Castro came to power in the late 1950s. Cuba became communist and began negotiations with the Soviet Union (The US's enemy during the Cold War). The Soviet Union wanted to counter the US missiles in Turkey by sending intermediate ranged missiles into Cuba. This action caused panic within America and President Kennedy was forced to promise that he would no longer attempt to overthrow Castro or the Cuba government and he would take his missiles out of Turkey if the Soviet Union took their missiles out of the Cuba.He ordered a Quarantine on cuba and stopped the soviet ships from bringing any missiles to cuba. This was due to concerns that the soviets can attack the west.

The Soviets could easily land an attack on the United States from Cuba.
