The Cuban Missile Crisis

Information sourced from www.bbc.co.uk/history

The cold war at it's height, and the closest the world has come near to world war three.The USA discovered that the soviets had been bringing nuclear arms to cuba to point directly into the USA. America had to respond so kennedy sent out a blockade of ships to intercept the russians resulting in a stand off.

At the moment I am gathering as much information as possible to get a better understanding of the cold war and how I can use this information in a final project.
