Explain why cuba became a crisis spot during the cold war?

Cuba in the Cold WarFollowing a revolution in 1959 Cuba adopted Communism, being the only state in the Americas to have a do so, or at least to have a Communist government that lasted. (In fact, it's still in office in 2006). An attempted invasion from the US ('Bay of Pigs' [and no it was not a bay full of floating pigs :^P]) was a fiasco and in 1962 Khrushchev tried to station long-range missiles on the island. This attempt led to the 'Cuban missile crisis' of 1962. When this began, the U.S. sent Fidel Castro a letter stating that the U.S. will remove their missiles from Turkey if Cuba remove theirs. Castro agreed to this and did so, marking an end to the Cuban Missile Crisis.


Where might the cold war have been most likely to erupt into a hot war?

The Cold War is a reference to something else, not literally cold, but because no shots were ever fired. The Cold War was a race to the moon, and to who could make the most nuclear weapons fastest. Hope I helped.


Why was the cold war considered an important historical conflict between the US and the Soviet union even though the two countries never actually fort any battles against each other?

There were battles by proxy - the Cuban missile crisis, Vietnam, the space race etc. In the end the philosophy of communism proved to be incompatible with human aspirations and the soviet economy collapsed. From a militaristic viewpoint communism was winning!


What are 3 events of the cold war?

Three significant events of the Cold War include the Berlin Blockade (1948-1949), where the Soviet Union attempted to cut off access to West Berlin, leading to a massive airlift by Western allies. The Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 brought the world to the brink of nuclear war when the U.S. discovered Soviet missiles in Cuba. Lastly, the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 symbolized the decline of Soviet influence in Eastern Europe and marked a pivotal moment leading to the end of the Cold War.
