The Cuban Missile Crisis

The Cuban Missile Crisis was the time when the world got closest to having nuclear war. The Soviet Union missiles were less stronger then the U.S. army. so they were desperate for military in 1962. Fidel Castro was looking for a way to prevent the attack from U.S. to Cuba. So when the Soviet Union wanted a way to defeat the U.S. the Cuba let them build missile in Cuba. Later on the U.S. found out that there were missiles hidden in there by reconnaissance photographs and prepared missiles. The U.S. got ready to lunch missile and sent agreement to remove those missiles in Cuba. The Soviet Union first sent an agreement that they will remove if the U.S promises to not invade Cuba, and later on they promised that they will remove if the U.S removes their missile in Turkey. But later on the soviet Union removes their missiles and after that the U.S promised that they wont invade Cuba. Thus the crises ended in October 28th in 1962.
