The Cuban Missle Crisis

The cuban missle crisis was an event during the period of the cold war that was considered a close call. A close call in the sence that it was the closest the world ever came to a nuclear war. I was said that this event was the hottest event in the cold war which seems to be true. This all occurred when the Soviet's had started to create missiles in cuba that could be in target rage of the US. When the US found out this they also created missiles that were in target range of the soviet's in Russia. It was not until the US created better missiles that the Cubans had feared a war would begin that they took down their missiles in hopes that the US would not wage war on cuba.

NATO and WARSHAW PACT

The NATO was formed in the time of the cold war. This was an organization who's members were in parts or europe and in north america. This organization's purpose was aid it's allied countries in times of war. This pact was created in case the cold war became an actual war. The U.S. was fearful that the Russians would wage war with us.

The WARSHAW PACT was also formed in the time of the cold war. Its members consisted of the Soviet Union and the contries that bordered it. The Soviet did no use its bordering countries to support each other in war but rather use them as a border around themselves in case of attack. Like the US, the Soviet was also afraid of war breaking out but was ready as well.
