Cuban Missile Crisis Revisited
The Cuban Missile Crisis, a pivotal historical event, witnessed Cuba hosting over 150 nuclear missiles. This crisis, alternatively referred to as the Missile Scare unfolded over one month and escalated into an international crisis between the United States and the Soviet Union.
Despite its relatively brief duration, the Cuban Missile Crisis remains a landmark moment in American public safety and the planning of nuclear warfare. It is widely acknowledged as the closest the Cold War ever came to plunging into a full-scale nuclear conflict.
