On October 27, 1962, the world stood on the brink of nuclear annihilation during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The United States and the Soviet Union, armed with nuclear weapons, engaged in a tense standoff over the presence of Soviet missiles in Cuba. Through tense negotiations and brinkmanship, both sides eventually de-escalated the situation, agreeing to remove the missiles from Cuba in exchange for the US pledging not to invade the island. This pivotal moment, often referred to as "The Battle That Prevented a Nuclear World War Three," showcased the catastrophic consequences of nuclear war and highlighted the urgent need for nuclear disarmament and peaceful conflict resolution.
