The Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962 was a 13-day confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union over the placement of Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba, just 90 miles from the U.S. mainland. Tensions escalated when U.S. reconnaissance flights revealed the missiles, leading President John F. Kennedy to impose a naval blockade around Cuba and demand their removal. After intense negotiations, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev agreed to withdraw the missiles in exchange for a U.S. commitment not to invade Cuba and the secret removal of U.S. missiles from Turkey. The crisis marked a pivotal moment in the Cold War, highlighting the dangers of nuclear brinkmanship.
