The Cuban Missile Crisis was arguably the most dangerous conflict of the Cold War. This incident between the United States and Soviet Union almost lead to all out nuclear warfare. This was a result of the United States putting missiles in Turkey and the Soviet Union putting missiles in Cuba.

Over 13 days in October of 1962, President John F. Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev constantly deliberated over an agreement on how to end this without warfare. The US agreed not to invade Cuba again and the Soviet Union agreed to remove their missiles in Cuba. The US would later remove their missiles from Turkey as well.

Tema [17]

Answer:

<h3>Today, mass psychogenic illness normally develops through the fear of a viral outbreak and other biological factors.</h3>

Explanation:

Unlike the past, today mass psychogenic illness does not develop through customs or ritualized behaviors. The "Dancing Manias" of the Middle Ages was believed to have caused due to religious beliefs like a curse sent by a godly entity or a punishment from the God.

However, modern mass psychogenic illness usually develops through the fear of a viral outbreak or other biological factors. Mass hysteria of being contracted with a certain disease or illness is mostly believed by the victims. They do not trace their illness to any supernatural elements but rather believes it as something man-made or a viral outbreak.
