What happened at the Cuban Missile Crisis
In October 1962, American reconnaissance flights revealed that the Soviet Union had secretly placed nuclear-capable missiles in Cuba, within striking range of much of the United States. President John F. Kennedy responded with a naval blockade of Cuba and demanded their removal, while Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev initially resisted. For thirteen days, the world faced the serious threat of nuclear war as tensions escalated. The crisis ended when Khrushchev agreed to withdraw the missiles in exchange for a U.S. pledge not to invade Cuba and a secret agreement to remove American missiles from Turkey. The episode became a defining moment of the Cold War and prompted new efforts at direct U.S.-Soviet communication.
