Answer:

The Cuban Missile Crisis

Explanation:

The Soviet Union secretly advanced some of their nuclear arsenal into parts of Cuba. Soviet long range intercontinental ballistic missiles or ICBM's that were placed in Cuba were well within range to hit nearly any part of the United States with a nuclear blast. The United States received intelligence from spy planes of the nuclear silos and thus had 13 days of strategic "no shots fired" conflict to try and get the missiles out of Cuba.

This conflict seriously did threaten global nuclear war. It was one of the highest tension periods in world history. Under the concept of "mutually assured destruction" if the Soviet Union was to have stuck the United States with a nuclear missile from Cuba, the US would strike back even harder, and so on and so forth.

All these have been formed from organic remain of prehistoric plants and animals, under high pressure, high temperature conditions. All three forms are excellent energy sources, upon which modern day civilization is based. Coal is used as a domestic as well as industrial fuel in all three forms: anthracite, bituminous, and lignite. Fractional liquid petroleum is used as automobile and industrial fuel, in all of its variations, viz. gasoline, kerosene, diesel, light oil, heavy oil, green oil, etc. Natural gas is mainly methane, and is a component of domestic and industrial gas supply lines, for use as an easily accessible fuel.
