Was The Cuban Missile Crisis A Turning Point In Relationships Between The Superpowers?
I believe the Cuban missile crisis was a short period of thaw between the two superpowers. In my opinion the most important reason for the thaw was the Cuban missile crisis, this event brought the world very close to nuclear war and that would have resulted in the end of the world. Therefore in 1963 a telephone hotline was set up between the Kremlin (USSR) and The Whitehouse (USA). This was to enable instant communication between the Russian leader and the American President. This was making the superpowers relationships better.
