See website: Cuban Missile Crisis
Cuba became a crisis spot during the Cold War because of the Cuban Missile Crisis, that came close to being a nuclear conflict.
1962
At the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis, John F. Kennedy was President of the United States. Also Fidel Castro was the leader of Cuba.
The Cuban missile crisis occurred almost four years after Fidel Castro's takeover of the country.
Nikita Kruschev was the Soviet leader who had missile sites built in Cuba.
SS-4 "Sandal" MRBM's and SS-5 "Skean" IRBM's missiles.
Cuba never attacked the US. Castro's been (or was) the leader of Cuba since 1959. If your question is referring to the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, that wasn't a war. It was a "crisis"...meaning, it was ALMOST a war (a nuclear war). The Soviets removed the atomic missiles from Cuba and we departed.
In October of 1962.

Issa Pliyev ordered a U-2 spy plane be shot at. The Deputy was Gen. Stepan Grechko. The missile was fired and the U-2 spy plane was shot down.
