Cuban Missile Crisis

Well the Cuban Missile Crisis was basically the plan of Missiles in Cuba. It was considered "the hottest moment in the Cold War" because it was the closest the world ever came on entering a Nuclear War that would make a big mess in the world. President FJK heard about the Missiles instalations in Cuban and send Ships to prevent more of incoming. He also tried to come in agreement with Cuba, Turkey and Soviet Union to try and stop the Nuclear war from starting. Everybody was ready and armed for it. JFK also said that any missile launched from Cuba would be considered as an attack from the Soviet Union itself since its missiles were from there, and demanded that the Soviet Union removed its weapons from Cuba. United states had weapons to bomb the Soviet Union in one attack. They later on accepted the agreement but also wanted a guarantee that USA wouldnt invade Cuba. They also wanted USA missiles removed from Turkey in exchange. Tensions began to ease on the 28th of oct when Khrushchev said he would disarm its missiles in Cuba and return it to the Soviet Union in trust that USA wasnt going to invade Cuba.

Nato and The Warsaw Pact

Nato was the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. NATO is an organization with European countries and North American countries. Nato was basically created to build a defense for those countries involved. In case of an attack on any of the countries involved, the other countries within this organization would come to help them. The agreement wasnt just for the aid of those countries in war. It also helped Europe economically. The Warsaw Pact was Soviet Union and its satellite countries. It was similar to the Atlantic organization and was also created in a response to them.
