The Cuban Missile Crisis came in 1962. It began when the Soviet Union installed nuclear missiles on Cuba, which is in close proximity to US territory, just 90 miles south of Florida. During the crisis, leaders of the United States and the Soviet Union were engaged in a political and military standoff for thirteen days.
The crisis finally ended when the Soviet Union agreed to remove the missiles in Cuba and the US promised not to invade Cuba in return. <span>
