Video - 1962: The 13 Days That Almost Nuked the World 🌎💥

Did you know that in 1962, the world came to the brink of nuclear war over a dispute involving some tropical beaches? During the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Soviet Union secretly placed nuclear missiles in Cuba, just 90 miles from the United States. It was like putting a loaded gun under Uncle Sam's pillow. President Kennedy responded with a naval blockade, demanding the missiles be removed. For 13 tense days, it seemed like a nuclear showdown was inevitable. Eventually, both sides blinked: the Soviets agreed to remove the missiles, and the U.S. secretly promised to remove its missiles from Turkey. Talk about a high-stakes game of chicken! So, what do you think? Could cooler heads prevail today in such a scenario? Leave your thoughts in the comments!
