These proxy conflicts were important as they are connected. The U.S thought the missiles were there because of the Bay of Pigs invasion and wanted to prevent anymore hostile U.S attacks. This was the exact reason for the missiles but both countries eventually came to the agreement.

This Cuban Missile Crisis was a very extreme and intense thirteen day military and political standoff. The U.S felt the national security was threatened by the Soviets missiles located on the island of Cuba so they decided to create a blockade. After they created the naval blockade the USSR realized the U.S was willing to do anything to neutralize these threats and thus a 13-day standoff began as they scared each other and the rest of the world as they almost began a nuclear war. Eventually, the USSR agreed to remove the missiles as long as the UNited States did not invade Cuba.

The Cuban Missile Crisis wasn't really in a specific location but the missiles were located in Cuba. John F. Kennedy was in the U.S and Nikita Khrushchev’s was in the Soviet Union during the standoff. It lasted 13 days during October of 1962.

This invasion took place in Playa Girón or Bahía de Cochinos meaning "Bay of Pigs" in Cuba on April 17th, 1961.  It did not even last 24 hours as it ended on April 18th, 1961 because it was a failed invasion.

The Bay of Pigs was a failed invasion attempt by the U.S. consisting of 1400 U.S trained Cubans. Two days prior on the 15th of April 1961 trained Cubans piloted three planes and bombed two Cuban air bases. Once the troops arrived on the 17th they were far outnumbered and outgunned as Fidel Castro was prepared for an attack and we surrendered quite quickly. There was many things leading up to the failed invasion including Castro's diplomatic relationship with the Soviets,  our discontinued relationship with the island, and his rule reducing the United State's power and impact on Cuba. After the failed invasion it was concluded that 114 were killed and 1,100 troops were captured.
