The Cuban Missile Crisis created the greatest danger for the United States during the Cold War as it brought the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, to the brink of a nuclear war. The Soviet Union placed nuclear missiles in Cuba, just 90 miles from the US, and the US responded with a naval blockade, leading to a tense standoff. The crisis was finally resolved when the Soviet Union agreed to remove the missiles in exchange for a US promise not to invade Cuba and the removal of US missiles from Turkey.
