The Cuban Missile Crisis was one of the climactic points of the [[Cold War]]. Tension had been building between the Soviet Union, and The United States. The USSR had been giving aid to the Cubans, who in turn were prepared to allow the Soviet Union to place nuclear missiles on their island. While the entire crisis lasted much longer, the "Thirteen Days" of October 15-28 was the most intense period of the crisis. <ref>Robert F. Kennedy - Thirteen Days</ref>

The Cuban Missile Crisis was one of the top climactic points of the [[Cold War]]. Tension had been building for some time between the Soviet Union, and The United States. Now, this tension had the potential to plummet the world into a nuclear war.

 

The USSR had befriended the newly reformed Cuba, and had been giving aid to them. Cuba, in thanks for this aid, allowed the USSR to begin placing nuclear missiles on their island. These two superpowers would make one last attempt at negotiating the placement of these missiles. While the entire crisis lasted for months afterwards, the "Thirteen Days" of October 15-28 was the most intense period of the crisis. <ref>Robert F. Kennedy - Thirteen Days</ref>
