15 oct. 1962 - U2 SPY PLANES TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS OF MISSILE LAUNCH SITES IN CUBA THAT WERE CAPABLE OF CARRYING NUCELAR WEAPONS

Description:

Because Cuba was so close to the USA, missile sites in Cuba supported by the USSR posed a threat to the USA. If the USSR succeeded in deploying nuclear weapons to Cuba, they would have a base to attack America from, which would mean the US would lose its advantage over the USSR from their missile launchers in Turkey. President Kennedy was informed.
