History

Answer:

The Cuban Missile Crisis was a 13-day hostile argument between the United States and the Soviet Union. The cause of the crisis was on President Kennedy's orders to invade the Bay of Pigs in April 1961, which backfired badly and led to Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev's agreement with Cuba to place nuclear missiles on the island. Meanwhile, the White House was denying allegations of ignoring dangerous Soviet missiles apparently 90 miles from Florida, although this was later confirmed when photos shot from an air force spy plane showed clear pictures of the missiles. When he heard, President Kennedy ordered a meeting with the National Security Council and ordered a naval blockade to prevent further missiles from reaching Cuba. But disaster was avoided when the U.S. agreed to Nikita Khrushchev’s offer to remove the Cuban missiles in exchange for the U.S. assuring them that they wouldn't invade Cuba.

The Cuban Missile Crisis is often said to be the closest the U.S ever came to breaking out into nuclear war.
