Missiles were being placed in Cuba, because the USSR believed that they also need ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missiles) in striking range of the US, and placing them in Cuba (a pro-USSR country) was, in their minds, the right choice. This however, led to the Cuban missile crisis, which lasted for weeks in a over-tense strain between the relations of the US and USSR. However, at the end, the missiles were removed after the US was able to make a deal with the USSR, stating that the USSR would remove their missiles from Cuba if the US would remove her missile from Turkey.

Several efforts had been made for the past few days by the UN to maintain peace in the region.
For years following the 1967 war,the UN voted over and over in favour of an international peace and conference, under the auspices of the UN, with all parties to the conflict (including the Palestinian Liberation Organization which emerged as a serious force after 1967) to solve the conflict between the Arabs and the Jews.
Although the UN was unable to stop the recent wars, which caused a lot of casualties.
But overall United Nations has been mildly successful in maintaining peace in the region.

Eisenhower coins one of the most famous Cold War phrases when he suggests the fall of French Indochina to the communists could create a “domino” effect in Southeast Asia. The so-called “domino theory” dominated U.S. thinking about Vietnam for the next decade.Eisenhower singled out the Soviet threat in his doctrine by authorizing the commitment of U.S. forces "to secure and protect the territorial integrity and political independence of such nations, requesting such aid against overt armed aggression from any nation controlled by international communism."[2] The phrase "international communism" made the doctrine much broader than simply responding to Soviet military action. A danger that could be linked to communists of any nation could conceivably invoke the doctrine.

McCarthy, a relatively obscure Republican senator from Wisconsin, announced during a speech in Wheeling, West V. that he had in his possession a list of 205 communists who had infiltrated the U.S. State Department. The unsubstantiated declaration, which was little more than a publicity stunt, thrust Senator McCarthy into the national spotlight. Asked to reveal the names on the list, the opportunistic senator named just one official who he determined guilty by association: Owen Lattimore, an expert on Chinese culture and affairs who had advised the State Department. McCarthy described Lattimore as the “top Russian spy” in America.
<span>In 1763, the French and Indian War ended in favor of the British, bringing about a change in the political, economic, and ideological relationship between Britain and the US colonies. When the French and Indian War ended, the countries that owned land in North America changed, and it led to Britain becoming one of the most powerful country. During this time, the relationship between American colonists and their British government was wary, and eventually led to the Proclamation of 1763. The Proclamation was Britain wanting to keep conflict from happening, however, it had the opposite effect on their colonists, as they felt that Britain abandoned their rights while imposing unnecessary rules onto them. On top of that, Britain increased the taxes and laws for their American colonists that strictly regulated trade, imposed taxes on commonly used items, and made sure that the Americans did not have relationships with any other European countries. This led to the Americans becoming infuriated because of these unjust taxations.
This sudden change in the amount of laws and taxes placed on the colonists strained the economic relationship the colonists had with their country. For example, the Wool, Hat, and Iron Acts forced Americans to ship their raw material to Britain, and to buy only finished products from them. On top of this, the Stamp Act enraged many of the colonists, and, as Benjamin Franklin stated, wanted the Act(s) to be repealed as quickly as possible. They practiced smuggling and non-importation/consumption of British goods, which strained their relationships even more.
Even though the colonial ideological values towards Britain began to change during the war, the colonists ability to fight back using boycotts proved that when they united together, they can change circumstances. Also, during and after the French and Indian War, the Americans soldiers felt that they had less liberty than the Englishmen. As stated by a Massachusetts soldier when he wrote that “we are debarred Englishmen’s liberty.” Their resentment continued to grow, until it became unbearable and it triggered the Revolutionary War. The French and Indian War was the trigger to the start of the American Revolution, as it changed the political, economic, and social status between England and her colonists, because the English imposed unfair taxes to help pay for their own economic struggles. The colonists, to fight back, boycotted, smuggled, and protested, further damaging their relationships with Britain. Finally, the last straw was when British troops shot into American crowds during the Boston massacre. From that point of history on, all status of countries had changed.<span>(note:horrible ending.. might want to change it)
