The ENTIRE History of the Cuban Missile Crisis (1962) — The World on the Brink | Sleep Documentary

Описание: The year was 1962. For thirteen terrifying days, the world stood closer to nuclear war than ever before. Soviet missiles were discovered in Cuba, just ninety miles from American shores. What followed was a high-stakes standoff between John F. Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev that could have ended civilization in fire.

This full-length documentary covers the ENTIRE history of the Cuban Missile Crisis — from the Cold War tensions after World War II, to Castro’s rise in Cuba, the Bay of Pigs, Khrushchev’s secret gamble, Kennedy’s response, the naval blockade, the brink of nuclear war on “Black Saturday,” and the backchannel diplomacy that finally pulled humanity back from the edge.

👉 In this film, you’ll see:
How the Cold War rivalry between the U.S. and USSR set the stage for disaster.
The secret Soviet missile buildup in Cuba, caught on U-2 spy photos.
The tense debates inside the White House and the Kremlin.
The near-miss incidents that could have triggered all-out nuclear war.
The secret deal that ended the crisis — and why much of it stayed hidden for decades.
The Cuban Missile Crisis remains the most dangerous moment in modern history — the week when survival itself depended on a handful of decisions.
