The U.S. placed missiles in Turkey during the Cold War primarily as a strategic response to the Soviet Union's growing influence and military capabilities, particularly after the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. The deployment of Jupiter missiles in Turkey aimed to enhance NATO's defense posture and deter Soviet aggression in Europe. This decision was also part of a broader strategy to reassure U.S. allies and demonstrate American commitment to collective security. Ultimately, the missiles in Turkey were part of a complex geopolitical landscape marked by tensions between superpowers.
