Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962 was a major confrontation that brought the United States and the Soviet Union close to war over the presence of Soviet nuclear-armed missiles in Cuba. This marked the climax of an acutely antagonistic period in U.S.-Soviet relations and also the closest point that the world had ever come to global nuclear war. --Britannica, Editors of Encyclopaedia.
