Question

Which event is considered the closest the Soviet Union and the United States came to actual war during the Cold War?

Answer 1

Answer:

6.

A. The Bay of Pigs

7.

B. To help European governments work together

Explanation:

The Bay of Pigs marked a failed CIA-backed invasion of Cuba by Cuban exiles. As part of the larger crisis marked by tensions with the United States between the revolutionary government in Cuba backed by the USSR, the Cuban Missile Crisis came very close to bring the USA and USSR to war over the missiles stationed in Cuba.

The European Union is a common market and the world's largest export and trade block.  It is also a global defender of human rights and is a influential peacekeeping force that seeks to promote peace talks in troubled regions and avoid conflicts. Within Europe, the EU has completely pacified the continent and allowed previously warring nations to work together as never before possible.
