Cuban Missile Crisis |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The crisis that arose in October 1962 following the United States’ demand that the Soviet Union remove the nuclear-headed missiles which it was in the process of installing in Cuba, a spot which Washington looked upon as well inside its ‘backyard’. The crisis was the most serious which occurred during the Cold War, East and West finding themselves eyeball-to-eyeball. It only began to subside when Soviet vessels heading for the island finally turned back in the face of the cordon that the US Navy had thrown around it. |
