Title: The Cuban Missile Crisis

Well as history shows/states the Cuban Missile Crisis was the closest the world ever came to nuclear war. In 1962 Russia was losing the race in the 'Arms Race' it being the fact that Soviet missiles were only powerful enough to land in Europe, whereas the US could easily knock Russia off its feet, however in Cuba Fidel Castro was looking for a way to protect his Island from a attack from the US so Fidel And Nikita Khrushchev who was the premier in the soviet locked sides, and the plan was underway for Russia to place their missiles in Cuba. This I feel was the hottest moment in the cold war because Russia and the US were now tied neck in neck. So to combat the issue Kennedy decided to make it public knowledge that the missiles were in Cuba and he decided to quarantine the island. So after much wear and tear things started to calm down on October 28Th and Khrushchev announced that he would dismantle the installation and return them back to the soviet union. Yay! Another victory for the US!!!!!!!!!!!!!
