The United States uncovered that the Soviet Union was installing offensive missiles and air bases in Cuba, which it claimed was in response to the US positioning of missiles in Turkey. President [[John F. Kennedy]] demanded that the Soviets remove the missiles. To ensure this happened he sent a blockade to the island. Eventually, Nikita Khrushchev, the Soviet premier at the time, backed down to avoid a war with the United States.
