Cuban Missile Crisis

Cuban Missile Crisis

The Cuban Missile Crisis was the closest the world ever came to nuclear war. Kennedy eventually ordered low-level reconnaissance missions once every two hours. The Cuba Missile Crisis was considered “the hottest moment in the Cold War”? Because Cuba declared that they will bomb all their enemies with more powerful bombs that were more powerful than the last that they created. On the 25th Kennedy pulled the quarantine line back and raised military readiness to defcon 2. Then on the 26th ex-comm. heard from Khrushchev in an impassioned letter. He proposed removing Soviet missiles and personnel if the U.S. would guarantee not to invade Cuba. October 27 was the worst day of the crisis.
