In 1962, the standoff between the USA and the USSR during the Cold War escalated to a critical phase. The USSR placed nuclear missiles in Cuba, capable of reaching Washington in an hour. The USA imposed a naval blockade around Cuba, putting the US in a position of being the aggressor nation. A Soviet SAM shot down a U-2 reconnaissance plane over Cuba, killing pilot Major Rudolf Anderson. Despite the escalating conflict, Kennedy refused to invade Cuba and removed the nuclear missiles from Turkey. The Soviet Union also withdrew its missiles from Cuba.
