6 0

So, the Cuban Missile Crisis was when Soviet ships were sending nuclear missiles to its ally Cuba. The United States, while flying U-2s over the area, found out that this was happening and President Kennedy ordered a blockade to stop the incoming ships from delivering their weapons. Now, this was such a big deal because Cuba is 90 miles off the coast of Florida and the long-range missiles could reach almost every major city in the U.S. This was the closest the world ever came to having a nuclear war and as a result of that President Kennedy and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev established a hot line that if a crisis ever did arise again the two could talk it out. <span />
