En octobre 1962, en pleine guerre froide (the Cold War), des avions espions américains découvrent que l'Union soviétique installe des missiles nucléaires (nuclear missiles) à Cuba, à seulement 150 kilomètres de la Floride. Le président John F. Kennedy ordonne un blocus (a blockade) : la marine américaine encercle l'île pour empêcher les navires soviétiques d'apporter d'autres armes. Pendant treize jours, le monde a peur d'une guerre nucléaire. Finalement, Kennedy et le dirigeant soviétique Nikita Khrouchtchev négocient (negotiate) : l'URSS retire (removes) ses missiles, et les États-Unis promettent de ne pas envahir Cuba. L'année suivante, une ligne directe, le « téléphone rouge » (the hotline), relie Washington à Moscou.
