1 Mai 1960 Jahr - U2 Spy Plane Incident

Beschreibung:

On this date, the Soviet Union shot down a spy plane flying over their territory. They called it an act of aggression. The US attempted to blow it off as a weather plane, and the situation was almost resolved. However, the US refused to apologize. This led to a dramatic rise in tensions between the US and the Soviets, and the Soviets entered the Afghan war.
