The struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cuban Missile Crisis almost started a third world war.
The Cuban missile crisis, which erupted in 1962 over Soviet nuclear-armed ballistic missiles stationed in Cuba, was a significant conflict that nearly resulted in war between the US and the USSR.
On October 24, a pivotal turning point in the course of the conflict occurred when Soviet ships heading to Cuba approached the line of American ships enforcing the embargo. It can be assumed that the Soviet Union's attempt to end the embargo would have set off a military clash that quickly escalated into a nuclear war.
On October 28, Khrushchev said publicly that Cuban Soviet missiles would be decommissioned and withdrawn the following morning. The naval quarantine persisted after the crisis was resolved but before the Soviet Union decided to withdraw its IL-28 bombers from Cuba and the United States lifted the quarantine on November 20, 1962.
