In October 1962, the world came closer to nuclear war than at any other point in history.

During the Cuban Missile Crisis, the United States and the Soviet Union stood minutes away from launching weapons that could have ended civilization itself.

In this video, we break down the Cuban Missile Crisis minute by minute, exploring how nuclear missiles were discovered in Cuba, how leaders debated invasion and airstrikes, and how a handful of decisions prevented World War Three.

From the U-2 spy plane photographs to the naval blockade, the submarine incident, and the secret negotiations between John F. Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev — this is the story of how the Cold War nearly turned hot.
