60 Jahre Kuba-Krise

2023, Z - Zeitschtrift Marxistische Erneuerung

60 years ago in October 1962, the world was on the brink of nuclear war after the Soviet Union stationed medium-range missiles in Cuba. The USA celebrated the withdrawal of nuclear weapons as a victory in the Cold War. But they had to promise never to invade Cuba. What remained secret was that in return the USA had to withdraw its own missiles from Europe.
