The Cuban Missile Crisis

Basically the Cuban missile crisis was the most important point were the Cold War was not going to be Non-Violent, but it was going to get dirty and more violent than ever; to the point where the world was close to being at its end by nuclear war. Meaning that Russia would have bombed us from Cuba. We would have bombed Russia, Turkey Would have Bombed russia, etc... There we would ave had a nuclear war and there would have been nukes everywhere. Well in the Cuabn Missile Crisis the russian played dirty first because they started to plant bombs in Cuba without the US knowing. Then eventually the US noticed and they tried to call it off because Kennedy realized and he thought smart that if any bomb was released in any country Zillions of people would have died and the world might have suffered some type of disruption and humanity would have gone to waste. Kennedy proposed to give his Nukes that he had in turkey back to russia, hoping that russia would understand that the US would not invade Cuba. Russia seeing how US gave up there weapons ordered Cuba to un-activate the Nukes and they stopped sending deadly weapons to Cuba. So concluding this the Cuabn Missile Crisis was very close to destroynig the world if it wouldnt have been for the act of Kennedy who took the first move to say "hey lets stop, were gona end humanity", and did a deal.

NATO and The Warsaw Pact

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is a military alliance established by the signing of the North Atlantic Treaty on 4 April 1949. With headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, the organization established a system of collective defense whereby its member states agree to mutual defense in response to an attack by any external party. The Russians and The Americans had done different alliances to defend themselves seeming how each nation thought the other was going to attack but neither nation wanted to attack because they thought something would happen. Either way they would both end up destroying everything seeming how lot of the most deadly weapons was being held by these 2 nations. Moving on with another alliance made was The Warsaw Pact. What exactly was the Warsaw pact? A military alliance of communist nations in Eastern Europe. Organized in 1955 in answer to NATO, the Warsaw Pact included Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and the Soviet Union. So as you can see both countries held organizations in defense of the threat from the other country. In conclusion throughout the Cold War both countries had alliances to threaten or to defend themselves and the most important ones were the NATO and the Warsaw Pact.
