The Soviet Union turned back their ships on their way to Cuba due to a naval blockade set up by the United States.

This blockade by the United States was done after they found out that the Soviet Union had missiles in Cuba that could hit almost every American city. The US government was worried that the Soviet Union would continue to bring in weapons as a means to prepare for war. To stop this from happening, the US Navy set up a blockade which would prevent the Soviet Union from getting any more weapons into Cuba.

The underground testing of nuclear weapons was prohibited under the terms of the 1963 Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.

Delicious77 [7]

Well, technically, this is false. The Test Ban Treaty of 1963 prohibited nuclear weapons testing in the atmosphere, in outer space, and under water, but it didn't ban testing underground. However, it does prohibit nuclear explosions underground if they cause "radioactive debris" and contaminate the living surroundings.
