Miami Archives: Cuban Missile Crisis - October, 1962

This crisis lasted from October 16-28 in 1962, and was seen as the closest to confrontation between the United States and the USSR. After it was found out that the Soviet Union had deployed ballistic missiles in Cuba, the United States government grew worried because the missiles were in range of the U.S. By November 1962, all missiles were withdrawn from Cuba. An agreement was made as a result of the crisis, and U.S. missiles positioned in Turkey were also removed.
