What was cuban missile crisis?

It occured during the cold war. At that time Cuba was a communist ruled country and the geographical location of Cuba is very close to U.S.A. The ideology adopted by U.S.A. is of capitalism which is against communism and so U.S.A. can overthrow Cuban president Fidel Castro at any time to absorb this country in capitalism. This very thought disturbs Russia as the ideology war was going on. Russia decided to establish its military bases in Cuba. Now U.S.A. got disturbed to see the rising russian military bases in Cuba. As Cuba is located very near to U.S.A. so it was deemed as a threat to the latter. To cope up this situation U.S.A. intercepted russian military ships to Cuba and this in turn annoyed russia. Somehow this issue was settled in talks and it did not lead  to the outbreak of another war. Both of these superpowers knew that war will lead only to the destruction of both countries. None of them can win over the other. Even if one may win then hardly one can say that it is the winner. Cuban missile crisis is the peak of cold war where situation became hotter between these two superpowers.
