Cuban Missile Crisis

The Cuban Missile Crisis happened in 1962, The soviets were putting nuclear missiles in Cuba. The U.S. had missiles in Turkey. The Soviet Union was sending ships in and out of Cuba with nuclear weapons on them so we sat up a quarantine to try and keep the weapons from getting into Cuba. Soviet Union and U.S. finally came to an agreement they would take the nuclear missiles out of Cuba and we would take the nuclear missiles out of Turkey.
