The Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 was the closest the world came to a nuclear war between the Soviet Union and the United States. It was a direct confrontation between the two superpowers over the installation of Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba, just a stone's throw away from the United States. The crisis lasted for 13 days and was resolved when the Soviet Union agreed to remove the missiles in exchange for a pledge from the United States not to invade Cuba and to remove their missiles from Turkey. The other options listed also represent significant moments of tension between the East and West, but none were as perilous as the Cuban Missile Crisis.
