27 Okt 1962 Jahr - Another letter

Beschreibung:

Khrushchev sends another letter changing the conditions of his proposed removal of the weapons; he will remove the missiles if America also removes it's missiles in Turkey. This annoys Europe, they think America are being selfish as he wanted to protect his country as opposed to the whole European continent.

A US spy plane is shot down over Cuba, Kennedy ignores the advice to launch a retaliation attack -> closest the world has come to nuclear war?
