One event that shows how close the US and USSR came to nuclear war during the Cold War is the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. The Soviet Union placed nuclear missiles in Cuba, sparking a tense standoff with the US that lasted for several days. Another event is the 1983 incident involving the Soviet military officer Stanislav Petrov, who prevented a nuclear war by correctly identifying a false alarm of a US missile attack. This incident highlighted the potential for accidental nuclear war due to technological and human errors.
