WE CAME THE CLOSEST TO NUCLEAR WAR

The Cuban Missile Crisis was a 13-day confrontation between
the
United States and the Soviet Union, when American
deployments of
nuclear missiles in Italy and Turkey were
matched by Soviet deployments of nuclear missiles in
Cuba.

The crisis lasted from October 16 to October 28, 1962. The
confrontation is widely considered
the closest the
the
Cold War came to escalating into full-scale nuclear
war
.

CLOSE TO THE BRINK OF NUCLEAR WAR IN 1962

See the source image


Complicated and tension-filled negotiations between the United
States and the
Soviet Union finally result in a plan to end the two-
week-old
Cuban Missile Crisis. A frightening period in which
nuclear holocaust seemed imminent began to come to an end.

Since President John F. Kennedy’s October 22 address warning
the Soviets to cease their reckless program to put nuclear weapons
in Cuba and announcing a naval “quarantine” against additional weapons shipments into Cuba, the world held its breath waiting to
see whether the two superpowers would come to blows. With no apparent end to the crisis in sight, U.S. forces were placed at
DEFCON 2—meaning war involving the Strategic Air Command
was imminent. On October 24, millions waited to see whether
Soviet ships bound for Cuba carrying additional missiles would
try to break the U.S. naval blockade around the island. At the last
minute, the vessels turned around and returned to the Soviet Union.
