This began the 13 days of uncertainty, AKA The Cuban Missile Crisis. The Cubans had the means to start a nuclear war on the U.S if they so pleased, Kennedy responded to this by also threatening to nuke Cuba, should they fire the nukes. This all came to an end when Khrushchev agreed to take the nukes out of Cuba, and Kennedy agreed not to invade Cuba (he also promised to take U.S nukes out of Turkey, as Cuba considered it a threat, but this was not told to the public in order to make Kennedy look better)

Answer:

The Code of Hammurabi is often cited as the oldest written laws on record, but they were predated by at least two other ancient codes of conduct from the Middle East. The earliest, created by the Sumerian ruler Ur-Nam-mu of the city of Ur, dates all the way back to the 21st century B.C., and evidence also shows that the Sumerian Code of Li-pit-Ishtar of Isis was drawn up nearly two centuries before Hammurabi came to power. These earlier codes both bear a striking resemblance to Hammurabi’s commands in their style and content, suggesting they may have influenced one another or perhaps even derived from a similar source.
