Editing Containment (section)

==Cuba==
In the [[Cuban Missile Crisis]] of 1962, the top officials in Washington debated using rollback to get rid of Soviet nuclear missiles, which were threatening the United States. There was fear of a [[nuclear war]] until a deal was reached in which the Soviets would publicly remove their nuclear weapons, the United States would secretly remove its missiles from Turkey and to avoid invading Cuba. The policy of containing Cuba was put into effect by President [[John F. Kennedy]] and continued until 2015.<ref>Alice L.
