Cuban Missile Crisis was an issue over nuclear weaponry between

USAball and

USSRball.
It began with USAball moving nukes to

Turkeyball and

Italyballs clay, threatening

USSRball.

USSRball responded by balancing out the nuke by moving some to

Cubaball's clay only 75 miles south of the

US state of

Floridaball.

Argentinaball, Venezuelaball, Trinidad and Tobagoball, Colombiaball and Dominican Republicball reacted blocking Cubaball's trade with USSRball .

In the end, USSRball and USAball agreed to remove nukes from the premises and return them back to USSRball and USAball, avoiding nuclear war.
