In order to change the strategic inferiority and pose deterrence to the United States, the Soviet Union leader Nikita Khrushchev decided to deploy the nuclear missiles in Cuba in July 1962, and thus brought about a missile crisis. During the crisis days, the United States and Soviet Union came to the brink of a nuclear war. On the other hand, Both Kennedy and Khrushchev also tried to seek the solution to the dilemma. Finally the crisis ended through peaceful means. The Cuban missile crisis was an important event in the cold war history, and brought about profound and far-reaching influence on the US-Soviet relations and overall international political situation in the 1960s.
