When Russia placed the missiles on Cuba it was warned that they needed to be removed and when they weren't action was taken by enacting a blockade of the island. This was part of the policy of containment by the United States not to allow Russia to influence the development of a communist country within the sphere of influence of the US.

Did the us policy of containment work during the cold war?
Yes, given the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. never had between them a nuclear war. The Cuban Missile Crisis was the closest they ever came, during the interval of October 14, 1962 until November 20, 1962. The crisis arose over the placement by the U.S.S.R. of nuclear missiles and other assets in Cuba, which is located a mere ninety miles from Miami, Florida. From there, these missiles could have reached anywhere in the continental United States and southern Canada (except perhaps Alaska).U.S. policy has been credited with being proximately causative of the dissolution of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, which occurred between January 19, 1990 and December 31, 1991.
Did Cuba ever have nuclear missiles?

How does the US action in cuba demonstrate the policy of containnent?
The U.S. action in Cuba, particularly during the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 and the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, exemplifies the policy of containment aimed at preventing the spread of communism. The Bay of Pigs invasion sought to overthrow Fidel Castro's communist government, reflecting the U.S. commitment to counteract Soviet influence in the Western Hemisphere. Similarly, the Cuban Missile Crisis showcased the U.S. resolve to confront and contain Soviet military presence close to its borders, ultimately leading to a negotiation that resulted in the removal of Soviet missiles from Cuba. These actions underscore the U.S. strategy to limit the reach of communism during the Cold War.

How was the US Operating under theory of containment with the crisis in cuba?
During the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, the U.S. operated under the theory of containment by aiming to prevent the spread of communism in the Western Hemisphere. The discovery of Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba posed a direct threat, prompting President Kennedy to impose a naval blockade and demand their removal. This approach was consistent with containment policy, as it sought to confront and deter Soviet influence in a critical region without escalating to direct military conflict. Ultimately, the resolution of the crisis reinforced U.S. commitment to containment while highlighting the dangers of nuclear confrontation.
How successful was Americas cold war policy of containment at stopping the spread of communism?
America's Cold War policy of containment was moderately successful in preventing the spread of communism, particularly in Western Europe and parts of Asia. The Marshall Plan and NATO helped stabilize Western Europe and deter Soviet influence, while U.S. involvement in conflicts like the Korean War aimed to contain communism in Asia. However, containment faced challenges, as seen in the spread of communism in Cuba and parts of Southeast Asia, leading to a mixed legacy. Overall, while containment delayed the expansion of communism, it did not eliminate it entirely.
Why did the US government oppose Fidel Catros taking power in Cuba?
Castro is a communist and took over Cuba by revolution. Cuba is in our sphere of influence and under the policy of containment and making the world safe for democracy he was just too close to American shores.

When the missiles went in the US responded and boycotted Cuba when the Russians refused to remove them. Today the Russians still have a lot of influence with Castro and his brother.

The policy has eased in the past years.
