The nuclear missiles were installed by the Soviet just 90 miles off the coast of the United States. The Cuban Missile Crisis was part of the cold war, which also included the NATO and the Warsaw Pact.

The missiles were so close and everyone knows if one place is getting bomb the nations that sent the bomb is going to get a bomb. Well because of the organization NATO, the nations were going to defend each other. So if one bomb went off, many were going to go off weather people liked it or not.
