The statement that best describes the role of Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis is:
Cuba sought protection from the Soviet Union and allowed the placement of missiles in Cuban territory after the failed Bay of Pigs invasion.
This accurately reflects Cuba's situation, as the Cuban government sought security from potential U.S. aggression following the Bay of Pigs invasion and aligned itself with the Soviet Union, which led to the deployment of nuclear missiles in Cuba.
