Answer 1

Answer:

Option:   The Cuban missile crisis paled in comparison to the crisis in Berlin in August 1961.  

Explanation:

Fidel Castro, coming into power in 1959, joined himself with the Soviet Union and followed communism. Cuba became dependent on the Soviets for military and financial support. During this period, the Soviet and America were in the Cold War.

The two nations rushed into disputes after the pilot of U-2 American spy plane took photographs of a Soviet SS-4 ballistic missile while flying on a high-altitude over Cuba in 1962.

The presence of nuclear in a close range threatened the U.S, which led to the Cuban Missile Crises. The Cuban Missile Crisis was 13 days meeting between the Soviet Union, Cuba, and the United States.
