so they could attack the Americans in war and would not have to go though a long long war but it ended up that they did
When Russia moved military missles to Cuba and threatened to launch them at Florida.
what was discovered in cuba that was threating to the us was nuclear missles. the Russians and Cubans became allys with each other and during the cold war the Russians installed missles in cuba just incase the Russians needed to attack the usa quick. this was know as the Cuban missle crises.

The 'Cold War' follows WW2 directly. There is much mistrust between Russia & the western allies. The Berlin Airlift, the Korean War & the Cuban Missile Crisis are all features of the cold war.
when the Russians put their missles on cuba to threaten the U.S since (Cuban missle crisis)
The cold war was not really a war, it was mostly an Arms Race for Nuclear Weaons. It was between Russia or back then it was the Soviet Union or the USSR and the USA or United States of America. It ended with the Cuban Missle Crisis.
The closest we came to a nuclear confrontation with Russia that I know of, was under John F. Kennedy during the Cuban Blockade in 1962.
The USA put missles in Turkey and Greece and pointed them at Russia. The USA also "quarentined" Cuba in order to prevent the building of Nukes that were going to pointed at the USA
colonial power was controlled by russia in cold war
Cuban Missile Crisis
to gain land the high point of the cold war was the Cuban missile crisis.
The Cuban Missile Crisis was a stand-off between America and Russia. Faced with an ultimatum from the Americans, the Russians turned away and headed back to Russia.
