The Cuban Missile Crisis is the closest the world has ever come to nuclear apocalypse. An ever-escalating arms race had led to the deployment of Soviet missiles in Cuba, which were now prepped and ready to fire on Washington, New York, and almost the entire Eastern Seaboard. The defining event of the Cold War, it would see the world’s leading superpowers fight in a dangerous battle for nuclear superiority just 90 miles from the American coast. For 13 days in October 1962, American President John F. Kennedy and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev would engage in a battle of wills, where one wrong move could lead to global destruction. Time was ticking, and neither side knew how events were about to unfold.

Vasily Archipov is a true hero. Unfortunately, I don't believe that people like that are made any more. Great video.

It’s crazy to think that on multiple occasions, the fate of the world was on a knife edge of diplomacy and sheer luck! I shudder to think what kind of a world we would have inherited had full scale nuclear war actually occurred. Excellent documentary!

@ 4:20 I love how the Soviet troops dressed as civilians to avoid detection, then proceeded to make military formations and march around the island. Way to stay lowkey.

Shouts out to that one dude on the submarine. Jesus Christ. Reminds me of that dude in Hawaii who had a system failure regarding incoming ICBMs and chose not to launch a counterattack. These types of events are seriously disturbing.

I can't agree with the Khrushchev "last gamble" tone that this video has. At this point, allowing a nuclear buildup around the USSR was unacceptable by any moral standards. The US was already an aggressor in the Vietnam war demonstrating how far it is willing to go. Decisive action was needed, and he correctly deduced that since the USSR is able to deliver a devastating attack on the US, not only to Europe, the US would have to back down. Comparing the Castro attitude of "nuke em all" along with the many of the Kennedy stuff, Khrushchev was far less of a "hothead". He didn't want these missiles in Cuba, he needed them to make a point. Otherwise, and knowing how many times US generals "begged" for the use of nuclear weapons, there is a high possibility of encountering the nuclear threat by the US with a clear disadvantage. Castro was a hotheaded "revolutionary", the US, with all its "values", has no excuse. Feeling safe while other countries could burn is very egotistical. It was quite a thought-out operation that delivered exactly what it should. The Cuban sovereignty was a slap on the face, the removal of the weapons that threatened the USSR, established respect, opened a communication line, and shuttered the feeling of complete security that the US had. Still, this was used in propaganda inflating the Red Scare.
