Question

In what country did the Soviet Union put nuclear missile sites that could hit any target within the United States?

Answer 1

Soviet Cuba
The world held its breath for nearly two weeks in October 1962, as tensions rose between the United States and Soviet Union. The standoff started after the discovery of Soviet nuclear missile sites in pro-Soviet Cuba -- which put millions of Americans in range of weapons that could hit US cities within minutes.

Answer 2

Cuba

The placement of nuclear missiles in Cuba by the Soviet Union was in direct response to the United States placing nuclear missiles in Turkey. The tension between these two nations paired with the threat of nuclear war would eventually lead to what we now know as the Cuban missile crisis
