1) The Cuban Missile Crisis was the Cold War’s closest brush with nuclear war. The most dangerous moment of the Cuban Missile Crisis was the evening of Saturday, 27 October 1962, when the resolution of the crisis was to back down or to hold your ground.

The Soviet Union had nuclear missile bases in Cuba and they were becoming operational, and pressure increased on President Kennedy to do something to get them out of Cuba, especially after an plane was shot down over Cuba and its pilot killed. A letter from Soviet leader Nikita S.
