Answer 1

Answer:

Here you go:

Explanation:

The Cuban Missile Crisis was at the height of the Cold War, and led to the containment of communism. Soviet Union supported the Cuban dictator Fidel Castro in the establishment and supply of nuclear missiles to keep the United States occupied with the missiles being so close to their nation. As a result, the U.S. threatened to fire their own nuclear missiles which would have been catastrophic. Peace agreements were signed and the Cuban missiles were either demolished or shipped back to the Soviet Union, causing Soviet Union to back down, and thus resulting in the containment of communism.
