Answer:

Cuban Missile Crisis was the greatest confrontation between two countries during the Cold War. At that time, the first man in the USSR was Nikita Khrushchev, and the president of the USA was John F. Kennedy. Although the crisis ended without consequences it increased the tension between two countries.

Explanation:

It all started when the Soviet Union set up missile systems in Cuba, only 150 kilometers away from the United States. The introduction to the Cuban crisis were photographs of Soviet missiles in Cuba.

Despite military pressure, Kennedy decided on a naval blockade.

On Tuesday, October 23, 1962, Khrushchev announced that he did not accept the blockade and threatened that, in the event of an attempt by the American invasion of Cuba, the USSR would retaliate with nuclear missiles.

Incidents between Soviet and American planes, ships and submarines became more frequent in those days.

Relief arrived on Sunday, October 28, when the Soviet government finally agreed to dismantle weapons in Cuba and return them to the Soviet Union.
