The arms race affected the future of the world because it was in the danger of a nuclear fallout and the us and Soviet union raced to make nuclear weapons which could destroy each of the nation and make the world fear of the two superpowers.
The Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 was the closest the USA and Soviet Union ever came to nuclear war. A US spy plane took photographs of Russian missiles in Cuba. Cuba is 90 miles off the coast of Florida. President Kennedy told Nikita Krushchev, the Russian Prime Minister to remove the missiles. Krushchev refused to do so. Kennedy ordered a naval blockade of Cuba - nothing in or out. In response, The Soviet Navy headed towards Cuba to take on the US Navy. Kennedy left the blockade in place,.

The Soviets removed the missiles from Cuba and as a show of good faith, Kennedy had American missiles removed from Turkey.
