Response in English: The Cuban Missile Crisis was a pivotal event in the history of the Cold War. Occurring in October of 1962, it was a confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union over the placement of Soviet missiles in Cuba. The crisis is considered to be the closest the world ever came to a global nuclear conflict and is remembered for its tense 13-day standoff between the two superpowers.It began when on October 14th, 1962, a US Air Force U-2 spy plane flying over Cuba captured photographic evidence that the Soviets were building missile bases in Cuba, capable of launching nuclear missiles at the United States. President John F. Kennedy immediately convened a meeting of his top advisors, forming the Executive Committee of the National Security Council, to discuss what action should be taken. Over the next several days, the United States considered a range of options from diplomacy to a military strike.On October 22nd, President Kennedy announced that the United States would implement a naval blockade of Cuba, to prevent any further missiles from being delivered. He also demanded that the Soviets remove the missiles already in Cuba and dismantle the bases.This event had major global implications, as it brought the world closer to a nuclear war than any other time in history. The tension between the two countries was palpable, and for 13 days, the world watched as the two powers engaged in a tense game of brinkmanship. Eventually, on October 24th, Soviet ships carrying missiles to Cuba turned back, rather than risking confrontation with the US naval blockade. On October 28th, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev agreed to remove the missiles from Cuba, in exchange for a US promise not to invade Cuba and a secret agreement to remove US missiles from Turkey.The Cuban Missile Crisis had a profound impact on international relations. It demonstrated the importance of communication and cooperation between nations in preventing global disaster, it also led to the establishment of the first direct communication link hotline between the leaders of the United States and the Soviet Union, to prevent any future crises from dangerously escalating. Both countries recognized the dangers of nuclear war and agreed to work towards a détente, or easing of tensions, which marked the beginning of the end of the Cold War. .
