John F. Kennedy was President of the US at the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis, and he determined the US response to the Soviet actions. He is given credit for forcing the USSR to remove its missiles from Cuba, although he came extremely close to provoking a nuclear war, in the process. The Cold War technique of getting as close as possible to nuclear war without actually having a nuclear war was known as "brinkmanship" (that is, you lead the country to the brink of war, but not actually to war). This was really, really close.
