What event during the Kennedy administration nearly led to world war?

The event during the Kennedy administration that nearly led to World War III was the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962. The United States discovered Soviet nuclear missiles stationed in Cuba, just 90 miles from its shores, prompting a tense 13-day standoff between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. President Kennedy imposed a naval blockade and demanded the removal of the missiles, leading to heightened tensions and fears of nuclear conflict. Ultimately, a diplomatic resolution was reached when the U.S. agreed to remove its missiles from Turkey in exchange for the withdrawal of Soviet missiles from Cuba.


Did President Kennedy remove nuclear missiles from Turkey to resolve a crisis?

The placement of U.S. nuclear missiles in Turkey is thought to have provoked the Cuban Missile Crisis. Missiles in Turkey were close enough to strike Moscow, so Russia placed armaments in Cuba, which was within striking distance of U.S. soil. The Missile Crisis, began on October 14th 1962. Robert Kennedy said, during negotiations with the Russians that the missiles would be removed within a short time after the crisis ended. The Missile Crisis ended on October 28th of 62 and the missiles were quietly taken out of turkey some time after April 24th 1963.
