Why might the US place a naval blockade around Cuba?
JFK found out that the Russians had installed missiles on Cuba. With Cuba only 90 miles from US shores he told the Russians they had to remove the missiles and they refused, so he put a naval blockade on the island. For 3 days we thought there might be a nuclear war between the United States and Russia, but the Russians backed down and removed the missiles. An interesting point to this is the Russian ships still dock in Cuba and their connections with Cuba are still strong.
