Answer:

The actions of the representatives of an specific nation who were in the U.S. during the crisis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Microhistory is a historiographical genre that emerged with the publication in Italy of the collection "Microstorie" under the direction of Carlo Ginzburg and Giovanni Levi between 1981 and 1988. Its historical analysis proposes an extremely specific thematic delimitation cautiously made by the historian.

Microhistory will show, for example, that within the French Revolution there was a certain peasant who was important in the process of triggering this historical fact, that is, the historians of microhistory will emphasize that it was not only Napoleon Bonaparte the great hero of this event in France.

It is known that Brazil had diplomats and other officials in the U.S. taking actions regarding the missile crisis and this story is not know. It could be, though, with a microhistoriacal approach.

A microhistorian typically studies one day or a small part/section of an entire crisis or war. Therefore, a microhistorian's approach to the cuban missle crisis might study one day of the crisis.
