The Winners, the arms and weaponry industry in both countries, the United States, and the Soviet Union. That was an essential part of the arms race between the United States and the USSR during the so-called Cold War. The losers, the people that lived in fear of another world war during those years, and the poor people that suffered from lack of basic necessities when the federal government was expending millions of dollars in weaponry instead of social programs, creation of jobs, and health services.
The Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962 put the world on the brink of another world confrontation.
Cuba had a leader that threatened the U.S. And asked Russa (Soviet union) to import and export weapons. so the U.S. made a blockade around Cuba. Then finally they destroyed all the weapons and the blockade stopped.
