For me the height of the Cold War was the first Nuclear Test by the Soviet Union on the 29th of August 1949.
This was also probably the start of the 'cold-war' itself.
Before the Soviet Union has tested a live Nuclear Weapon, the United States was flexing it's muscles all over the world based on it's economic and military might.
However, the Soviet Nukes proved that there was another player on the global scene with the same weapons as the United States.
Subsequently Soviet Union couldn't, and in effect did, challenge America's dominance in every corned of the world for the next 40 years.
For me, this precise moment was more important than the 'Cuban Crisis'

Explanation:
After the Cold War, the United States did have some difficulty deciding when to use military force because during the Cold War, the Red Scare caused so much paranoia in the United States that they relentlessly used military force on other countries to try and prevent communism from spreading. During the Cold War, the United States messed up a lot of nations by executing/getting rid of their leaders that they feared would lead their countries to communism or not trade/give what the US wanted from their resources. Instead, they would replace those leaders with leaders they believed would help benefit the USA, and a result of this, many countries faced challenges with leaders they did not select. In the future, the US would learn actions have consequences when there was a rise of terrorism from countries that turned to a theocracy government after the USA took away their democratic leaders (ex: Iran).
