By: Lacey Dawson Jasmine Chapman

It all started on October 14 th 1962 when The Soviet Union threatened missiles on Cuba only 90 miles from the U.S. shore. A U.S. spy plane flying over Cuba spotted Soviet missile sites. After the pictures where taken president John F. Kennedy was informed and immediately took action. Many scientists believed a nuclear war would end life on Earth.

October 22, 1962, leaders of the U.S. and Soviet union engaged in a tense 13-day political/military stand-off over nuclear armed missiles. President Kennedy imposed a naval blockade of armaments on Cuba. Any vessels headed to Cuba would have to be searched by the U.S. navy.

Nikita Khrushchev offered to remove the missiles if the U.S promised not to invade Cuba, Kennedy also secretly agreed to remove U.S missiles from Turkey. The Cuban missile crisis was the closest the U.S ever got to a nuclear war.
