The Cuban Missile Crisis

Cuban Missile Crisis was a decision to all the Soviet Union to have base nuclear missiles in Cuba. This event was the closest the US got into a war. The United States challenged the Soviet Union and they want the Soviet Union to remove the missiles. President John F. Kennedy and Premier Nikita Khrushchev told the Soviet to leave the island and take their missile with them before both the USA and USSR destroy the world with their nuclear weapons; because of these people the war was prevented.

I think that President John F. Kennedy and Premier Nikita Khrushchev did the right thing by telling the Soviet to leave because if they didn’t there would be another war just like WWII and their would be million of people dying because of the toxic of the missiles and it would be bad for the world because the toxic would be spreading around the world. I think that after United States launched an atomic bomb in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, other countries got scared and they wanted to be prepared with a backup plan. As a result to this the Soviet Union installed missiles in Cuba 90 miles off the coast of United States.
