The Cuban Missile Crisis was a political standoff between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. In 1962, American spy planes discovered Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba, just 90 miles from the US. President John F. Kennedy demanded that the Soviets remove the missiles, and the world watched anxiously as the two superpowers engaged in a tense standoff. Eventually, the Soviets backed down and removed the missiles, averting a nuclear war. The crisis is widely regarded as the closest the world ever came to a nuclear war, and remains a landmark event in the history of the Cold War.
