The Cuban Missile Crisis was a tense diplomatic crisis between the United States and the Soviet Union over the Soviet Union's deployment of nuclear missiles in Cuba in 1962.

The crisis began on October 14, 1962, when a US spy plane detected Soviet-made missile launchers in Cuba. This discovery forced US President John F. Kennedy to declare a naval blockade of Cuba.

The crisis lasted for two weeks and brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. Finally, on October 28, 1962, the Soviet Union agreed to withdraw its missiles from Cuba. The United States agreed to withdraw its missiles from Turkey and Italy.

The Cuban Missile Crisis is considered one of the most dangerous episodes of the Cold War. It demonstrated the diplomatic skills of the two superpowers who managed to bring the world back from the brink of nuclear war.

The escalating tensions of the Cold War, the expansionist policy of the Soviet Union, and the US efforts to prevent the establishment of a communist government in Cuba are cited among the causes of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Cold War is the name given to the ideological and political rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union, which lasted from 1947 to 1991. It was characterized by the two superpowers threatening each other with expansionist policies around the world.

In 1959, the Soviet Union supported a communist revolution in Cuba led by Fidel Castro. This revolution forced the United States to take action to prevent the establishment of a communist government in Cuba.

The Cuban Missile Crisis began on October 14, 1962, when a US spy plane detected Soviet-made missile launchers in Cuba. This discovery forced US President John F. Kennedy to declare a naval blockade of Cuba.

The blockade of Cuba disrupted the Soviet Union's plans to send missiles to Cuba. The Soviet Union began diplomatic contacts with Kennedy to continue sending missiles to Cuba.

Finally, on October 28, 1962, the Soviet Union agreed to withdraw the missiles from Cuba. The United States agreed to withdraw its missiles from Turkey and Italy.

The crisis showed that direct confrontation between the two superpowers was not inevitable and that a diplomatic solution was possible. It was also an important step towards nuclear arms control and a new roadmap for international security.
