Why were the missiles sent to cuba in the Cuban missle crisis?
After the Bay of Pigs, where the U.S. invaded Cuba in attempt to overthrow Cuban government, Fidel Castro, the Cuban dictator, was very uneasy about the U.S.. It was because of the Bay of Pigs that Cuba became suspicious of the U.S. after that. When the Soviet Union asked to install missiles in Cuba, they agreed because that way they would feel more protected if the U.S. was to attack again.
How was geography important during the Cuban missile crisis?
Cuba is very close to Florida. Any missile attack against the US that is launched from Cuba would arrive very rapidly and would allow very little time to deploy any anti-missile defenses. Hence, an attack coming from Cuba is potentially much more dangerous than an attack coming from Russia, which is very far from the US (not counting the proximity of Siberia to Alaska, which is of less strategic importance).

How serious was the Cuban missile crisis?
yes and no. Russia placed the missiles in Cuba for two reasons: Russia feared an American invasion of Cuba, and America had missiles in turkey that were aimed at Russia. Some people speculate that the missiles were placed in cuba so the Russians would have something to offer for the removal of the missiles in Turkey. Having said that, russia had no intention of starting a war, and in fact was more afraid of us than we were of them. even then, we were perceived as trigger happy cowboys, and keep in mind that we were then, and remain today, the only country to ever actually use nuclear/atomic weaponry against another country. needless to say, they were petrified that we'd actually use our nukes first, and that is why, in the end, they agreed to remove the missiles. an interesting side note: America agreed to remove the missiles they had in turkey, but they still had missiles within striking range of russia placed in Italy.
