The highest point of the Cold War is often considered to be the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962. This tense 13-day confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union was sparked by the discovery of Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba, just 90 miles from the U.S. mainland. The standoff brought the two superpowers to the brink of nuclear war, highlighting the intense rivalry and the potential for catastrophic conflict during this period. Ultimately, it ended with a negotiated settlement, which included the removal of U.S. missiles from Turkey in exchange for the withdrawal of Soviet missiles from Cuba.

Ah, but the East and West were very much at war: A war of ideologies, a war of political one-upsmanship, a war of nerves. The only thing it didn't have was shooting. So no hot guns blazing away, as in a typical "hot" war. Just nerves and hubris - a "cold" war.
