soviet union
the cold war reached its most dangerous point during the kennedy administration in the cuban missile crisis, a tense confrontation between the soviet union and the united states over the soviet deployment of nuclear missiles in cuba. the crisis began on october 16, 1962, and lasted for thirteen days. it was the moment when the cold war was closest to exploding into a devastating nuclear exchange between the two superpower nations. kennedy decided not to invade or bomb cuba but to institute a naval blockade of the island. the crisis ended in a compromise, with the soviets removing their missiles publicly, and the united states secretly removing its nuclear missiles in turkey. in moscow, communist leaders removed nikita khrushchev because of his reckless behavior.
