How did Cuba almost cause a nuclear was between the soviet union and the US?
The Cuban Missile Crisis. In 1962, The Soviet Union, in collaboration with Fidel Castro, began building nuclear missiles on the Island of Cuba. Because the Soviets technology at the time limited their nuclear missiles range, they felt that having missiles in Cuba was the only way of defending against an attack by the United States, whose nuclear arsenal could reach the Soviet Union at any time. Castro, after the failed Bay of Pigs invasion, thought that another attack by the U.S was inevitable and agreed to the Soviet installations. President Kennedy imposed a quarantine on the island by surrounding it with naval vessels and ordered the missiles to be dismantled. Several tense days went by, and the world was on the brink of nuclear war. the worst day being October 27th when a U2 reconnaissance plane was shot down. On October 28th, The U.S and the Soviet Union came to an agreement. The missiles and bombers would be removed from Cuba, and the U.S agreed not to invade Cuba, thus ending the crisis.

Why did the Cuban missile crisis happen?
Most believe Soviet Premier Kruschev believed the young, newly-elected President Kennedy would not do anything about the Soviets' putting strategic weapons in Cuba. The Cuban Missile Crisis occurred in October 1962. When the Soviet Union secretly put nuclear missiles on the island of Cuba, it nearly started a nuclear war between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. The missiles were discovered by routine spy-plane surveillance. The missiles were still in the process of being made launch-ready. However, President Kennedy had very little time to make a decision regarding what to do about it. His military advisers all but demanded a full-scale air strike, followed by an invasion of the island. Instead, President Kennedy ordered the U.S. Navy to "quarantine" the island by not allowing any Soviet ships to travel to Cuba. This, combined with diplomacy, forced Soviet Premier Kruschev's hand, and the missiles were withdrawn.
Who were the historical personalities involved in the bay of the pigs and their roles?
John F. Kennedy-the President of the United States at the time. He approved the invasion, but at the last minute (in a moment of fear and worry) called off the air strike that would have aided the Cuban Refugees and potentially made the invasion a US victory. Fidel Castro-the dictator of Cuba at the time. He was moving in nuclear weapons from communist Soviet Union. The Soviets installed nuclear missiles, leading to the Cuban Missile Crisis, under the ruling and knowledge of Castro. Castro knew the opposing ideologies of COMMUNIST Soviet Union and CAPITALIST United States, therefore causing a direct problem with the Soviet Union having missiles so close to the US. That's why the Bay of Pigs Invasion occured in the first place. This also occured because of the gaining of power of Fidel Castro and the oppsition of the Cuban people. You could also say that the leader of the Soviet Union at the time was an important personality. It depends on the depth you are trying to reach.
What was John F. Kennedy contribution to the Cuban Crisis Missile?
John F. Kennedy was President of the US at the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis, and he determined the US response to the Soviet actions. He is given credit for forcing the USSR to remove its missiles from Cuba, although he came extremely close to provoking a nuclear war, in the process. The Cold War technique of getting as close as possible to nuclear war without actually having a nuclear war was known as "brinkmanship" (that is, you lead the country to the brink of war, but not actually to war). This was really, really close.

Why was the Soviet union moving nuclear missals to Cuba so dangerous?
Moving Soviet missiles to Cuba was a threat in that it placed these weapons only 90 miles from the US. Prior to that, Soviet ICBM's would need to travel thousands of miles to reach the US. Having them so close would improve their accuracy and make spotting them far too late as they were so close.

What was John F Kennedy's biggest achievement?
I think it was forcing Russia to remove missiles from Cuba before they were actually set up and keeping them from adding any others. I can imagine all kinds of difficulties in having missiles in Cuba pointed at the US. Also it would have been a lot harder to get them out later. A second answer is to get elected as President. That alone insured a poace in US history.

Can missiles shoot down planes if having trouble detecting?
No. Missiles gotta be able to detect planes in the radar in order get a lock on because missiles need to get a lock on to shoot down planes but planes fly in really high altitudes, this makes it even more difficult to detect planes on radar.
Why did President Nixon want the US to have better relations with China?
President Nixon wanted better relations with China (People's Republic of China) to balance the rising power of the Soviet Union.
