This week Chris is talking about the Cuban Missile Crisis! This is a time in history where the cold war got heated ! We got Fidel Castro who is a leader in Cuba and wants a communist government but let's be real, doesn't really happen but shout out socialism and AOC🙌 We had a spy plane flying over Cuba one day and we saw these nuclear bombs and started to freak out. JFK was cool and calm, and had a plan. He told the American people and then plan went into affect. 

Cuba was under quarantine and we had a standoff at sea with the USSR ! Nikita Khrushchev backed off and we avoided a whole war! THANK GOD! Tell us your thoughts babe in the comments!
