The country that created a standoff between the US and USSR was Cuba, particularly during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. The Soviet Union had placed nuclear missiles in Cuba, just 90 miles from the US mainland, prompting a tense 13-day confrontation. This crisis brought the two superpowers to the brink of nuclear war and highlighted the intense geopolitical rivalry of the Cold War era.
