Which of the following is true of the Cuban missile crisis?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Cuban missile crisis brought the United States and the Soviet Union close to nuclear war, as both sides had nuclear weapons aimed at each other. A U.S.-backed invasion of Cuba did not occur, and while Kennedy did ultimately choose to negotiate instead of taking military action, this does not necessarily indicate a tendency to back down in all tense confrontations. The cold war did not end with the crisis, and the United States did not use air strikes to destroy missile sites (though they did blockading Cuba by sea).
