The Kennedy administration first learned of the shipment of missiles to Cuba in late August 1962, with more detailed information emerging in early September. Initially, they believed that the Soviets were sending intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBMs) capable of striking targets in the United States. This intelligence led to heightened tensions and ultimately the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962.
After giving a verbal warning, which was ignored, he mobilized the nation's military and sent them towards Cuba...nuclear armed. For those who aren't aware of it today; US orders with atomic weapons was always...FIRST STRIKE!
The USSR retaliated to the USA's location of nuclear missiles in Europe by setting up nuclear missile bases in Cuba resulting the US blockade of Cuba.

The USA had missile bases in Turkey which were pointing directly at the USSR so the USSR put missiles on Cuba so that they were pointing directly at the USA. So therefore if the USA ordered the missiles in Turkey to attack the USSR, then the USSR could just straight away order the missiles in Cuba to attack the USA.
President Kennedy sent US warships to blockade Cuba and prevent Soviet ships from delivering more nuclear materials to Cuba. This led to the Cuban Missile Crisis.
On Friday Oct. 26, 1962 Khrushchev sent two letters to President Kennedy. The first letter was not made public. It was supposedly softer saying Russia would remove its missiles from Cuba if the U.S. would end the quarantine and garantee the U.S. would not invade Cuba. The second letter sounded harsher, seeking the removal of U.S. missiles in Turkey in return for taking Russian missiles out of Cuba.

President McKinley sent the U.S.S Maine to Cuba to evacuate Americans.
After the Bay of Pigs, where the U.S. invaded Cuba in attempt to overthrow Cuban government, Fidel Castro, the Cuban dictator, was very uneasy about the U.S.. It was because of the Bay of Pigs that Cuba became suspicious of the U.S. after that. When the Soviet Union asked to install missiles in Cuba, they agreed because that way they would feel more protected if the U.S. was to attack again.
Good will and show of force.
