Long story short, It all happened with the Bay of Pigs fiasco to remove Castro from power by using anti-Castro refugees to stage a revolt but it failed. Later a U-2 captured photos of Soviet missiles bases in Cuba but in a larger sense. Kennedy declared a naval blockade on Cuba and pressed Khruschev to take the nukes from Cuba but He refused. Kennedy mobilized the military for a possible invasion of Cuba. He probably knew the Soviets would fire its warheads from Cuba to hit Washington, New York, And Miami, etc. Also start a nuclear war with the Soviet Union. On October 27th, Khruschev agreed to take the missiles from Cuba in secret they did it if Kennedy took the missiles from Turkey pointed at the USSR.
The resolution of the Missile Crisis showed that neither the US nor the USSR wanted to go to war, but that both were determined not to easily back down. The heightened tensions lasted into the 1980's, and included the war in Vietnam and the invasion of Afghanistan. But never again did the two powers engage in open confrontation and brinkmanship.
Krushchev the Russian leader at the time put long-range missiles in Cuba, which sparked the Cuban Missile Crisis.
It was about 3 year ie 1959-1962
