Answer 1

The Cuban Missile Crisis is considered the closest that the Soviet Union and the United States came to actual war during the Cold War. It occurred in 1962 when the Soviet Union installed nuclear missiles in Cuba, prompting a tense standoff between the two superpowers. The crisis was resolved through negotiations and the removal of missiles from both Cuba (by the Soviets) and Turkey (by the United States).
