“The Cuban missile crisis was a 35-day confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union which escalated into an international crisis when American deployment of missiles in Italy and Turkey were matched by Soviet deployments of similar ballistic missiles in Cuba. Despite the short time frame, the Cuban missile crisis remains the defining moment in US national security at nuclear war preparation. The confrontation is often considered the closest the Cold War came to escalating into a full scale nuclear war.”
