Cuban Missle Crisis
October 1962,
IN CUBA!
The Cuban Missile Crisis was a confrontation between the Soviet Union, Cuba and the United States
The United States considered attacking Cuba via air and sea and settled on a military quarantine of Cuba.
The Soviets publicly balked at the U.S. demands, but in secret back-channel communications initiated a proposal to resolve the crisis
The confrontation ended on October 28, 1962 when President John F. Kennedy and United Nations Secretary-General U Thant reached an agreement
The ensuing crisis ranks with the Berlin Blockade as one of the major confrontations of the Cold War
