Question

Which cold war event brought the us and soviet union closest to ww3?

Answer 1

The US dropped an atomic bomb on Russia.

Answer 2

The correct answer should be the Cuban Missile Crisis that happened in the 60s. What happened is that the Soviets wanted to put their military bases on Cuba because the United States had bases in Europe. These bases would have nuclear missiles and would be a threat to the United States soil if they ever decided to enter a war against each other.
