The Cuban Missile crisis

The Cuban missile crisis was the hottest part of the war because it was the closest we came to an actual war. The two nations were ready to destroy each other because they all had their armed forces and defenses ready for a nuclear war.
The Cuban Missile crisis started by this man called Nikita Khrushchev who wanted to install missiles in Cuba. Fidel Castro approved of this because he feared that the U.S would attack them because of the Failed Pig Invasion. John F. Kennedy heard of this from his specialists. He said that an attack from Cuba with the missiles would be considered an attack from the Soviets themselves. Nikita eased the crisis by stating that he would take out the missiles form Cuba.
