Fun fact: the Cuban Missile Crisis almost sparked another World War, which would result in America becoming a different country than it is today. Heck, we wouldn't even exist.
Anyways, here are some facts of the Cuban Missile Crisis: -Fidel Castro assumes power in Cuba -Cuba aligns with the Soviet Union -US terminates diplomatic relations with Cuba -Bay of Pigs invasion fails resulting in a bad image of President JFK. -Missile Sites were photographed in Cuba, and the crisis ends with US and the Soviet Union making a pact to remove missile bases in Turkey and Cuba.
