The Cuban Missile Crisis

The Cuban missile crisis was when Russia fell back on the arm race. They had got scared of the fact that the US could lauch missiles at the soviet union but they could only attack eurpoe but not America. Russia then took Cuba and started to build bombs so it can be easier to bomb the US.We then quarantined Cuba and put a barrier around it to stop transports of more bombs to Cuba. Then we had got a letter which proposed that they would remove the missiles if the US would promise to not invade Cuba.
The hottest moment was when a bomb was shot down over Cuba. We then got a letter which stated to remove bombs from Turkey in exchange for the bombs in Cuba.We turned down this proposal and agreed to the first letter.This was considered the hottest moment because when this bomb was shot down it could of been considered as an attack and they could of fired.Then their would have been nuclear war. After they did remove the missiles from Cuba and we agreed not to invade Cuba.
