Cuban Missile Crisis

The Cuban Missile Crisis is one of the highest profile events of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union.

In 1962 the United States set up a blockade around Cuba when the Soviet Union attempted to set up missile bases on the island country. It almost led to the two superpowers going to war. This incident was referred as the Cuban Missile Crisis. General Morgan Hawkins referenced this incident when talking about a possible Soviet invasion of Khios "We should have fed those commies a nuclear sandwich back in 62".

In the briefing for the No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way mission Preemptive Strike, the following was listed.

''The world teeters on the brink of nuclear catastrophe, with the United States and Soviet Union closer to war than any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis. Again, the fate of humanity hinges upon the sovereignty of a tiny island nation.''
