A crisis broke out in Cuba in October 1962, primarily due to the presence of Soviet nuclear missiles on the island, which was perceived as a direct threat to U.S. national security. The United States, led by President John F. Kennedy, responded by imposing a naval blockade and demanding the removal of the missiles. This standoff, known as the Cuban Missile Crisis, brought the two superpowers to the brink of nuclear war but ultimately ended with a negotiated agreement, including the U.S. agreeing not to invade Cuba and the Soviets withdrawing their missiles. The crisis highlighted the intense Cold War tensions between the U.S. and the Soviet Union.
