Today we had a work day and i did some more research on the cuban missile crisis.
This was a confrontation in October 1962 between the Soviet Union and the United States during the cold war. During this time Cuba started building bases for ballistic nuclear missiles. This is where the cold war came closest to turning into a nuclear conflict. The US settled on a military quarantine of Cuba. They forced them to dismantle all bases already under construction of finished in Cuba.
