Cuba became a focal point in the Cold War during the early 1960s primarily due to the Cuban Revolution in 1959, which brought Fidel Castro to power and established a communist government aligned with the Soviet Union. The failed U.S. invasion at the Bay of Pigs in 1961 further solidified Cuba's ties to the USSR and heightened tensions. The culmination of these events occurred during the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962, when Soviet missiles were discovered on the island, bringing the U.S. and the USSR to the brink of nuclear conflict. This crisis underscored the geopolitical stakes of Cuba's strategic position and its role as a proxy battleground in the Cold War.
