The world almost came to an end due to the Cuban missile crisis and the USA embargo on the Soviet Union: the world was on the verge of Thermonuclear war.
Cuba in the Cold WarFollowing a revolution in 1959 Cuba adopted Communism, being the only state in the Americas to have a do so, or at least to have a Communist government that lasted. (In fact, it's still in office in 2006). An attempted invasion from the US ('Bay of Pigs' [and no it was not a bay full of floating pigs :^P]) was a fiasco and in 1962 Khrushchev tried to station long-range missiles on the island. This attempt led to the 'Cuban missile crisis' of 1962. When this began, the U.S. sent Fidel Castro a letter stating that the U.S. will remove their missiles from Turkey if Cuba remove theirs. Castro agreed to this and did so, marking an end to the Cuban Missile Crisis.
The Cold War is a reference to something else, not literally cold, but because no shots were ever fired. The Cold War was a race to the moon, and to who could make the most nuclear weapons fastest. Hope I helped.
There were battles by proxy - the Cuban missile crisis, Vietnam, the space race etc. In the end the philosophy of communism proved to be incompatible with human aspirations and the soviet economy collapsed. From a militaristic viewpoint communism was winning!
Three significant events of the Cold War include the Berlin Blockade (1948-1949), where the Soviet Union attempted to cut off access to West Berlin, leading to a massive airlift by Western allies. The Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 brought the world to the brink of nuclear war when the U.S. discovered Soviet missiles in Cuba. Lastly, the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 symbolized the decline of Soviet influence in Eastern Europe and marked a pivotal moment leading to the end of the Cold War.
in october of 1962
That they will not attack cuba
The Cuban missile crisis came to and end because Kennedy and Khrushchev made an agreement. In the agreement it stated that if Kennedy were to remove its naval blockade around Cuba and if it removes its missile bases in Turkey, Khrushchev would remove his missile bases from Cuba.
JFK was not allowed to go into Cuba.
There was no world war 3
Credit should go to both Nikita Kruchev and John Kennedy.
It took a total of 13 days in October of 1962.
A nuclear war, which would result in a nuclear winter and the end of most if not all of life on Earth.
Kennedy offered to remove the American missiles from Turkey.
Because it was going to be the start of World War 3 which would wipe out everything and everyone with all the nucleur missles used
