During the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962, President John F. Kennedy faced a critical situation when the Soviet Union placed nuclear missiles in Cuba, just 90 miles from the U.S. This standoff brought the world to the brink of nuclear war, but Kennedy's firm diplomatic negotiations ultimately led to the removal of the missiles. Tragically, less than a year later, on November 22, 1963, JFK was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, an event that shocked the nation and raised numerous conspiracy theories surrounding the circumstances of his death. The crisis and his assassination remain pivotal moments in American history, shaping U.S. foreign policy and public trust in government.
