In 1962, leaders of the U.S. and the Soviet Union (now Russia) were in a huge argument that lasted for 13-days.

At the time, the Soviets heard about this and and sent Nuclear weapons to Cuba to help them out (they are still communists today). Now the U.S. had a problem. Should they invade Cuba or back down.
