In 1962, the United States faced significant threats primarily from the Cold War tensions with the Soviet Union. The most critical incident was the Cuban Missile Crisis, where Soviet missiles were discovered in Cuba, just 90 miles from U.S. shores, heightening fears of nuclear war. Additionally, there were ongoing concerns about the spread of communism in Latin America and Southeast Asia, as well as the civil rights struggles within the U.S. that posed internal challenges.
