The '61 Bay of Pigs fiasco seemed to give Russia's Nikita Kruschev enough strength to install offensive ICBMs in Cube. These missiles could reach anywhere in the Eastern US. A toe to toe standoff raised concerns of a nuclear attack. An agreement seemed out of reach until, that is, the US pulled its missiles out of a secret missile base in Turkey. After that, it was not so secret.
