On 24 September 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin said, 'We have dangerous weapons to wreak havoc around the world. The western countries are not in any guise, this is not a jackass.
On October 7, 13 days after Putin's statement, US President Joe Biden retaliated strongly at a fundraising program for his party. He said, 'The world has drawn near to the final battle between the forces of good and evil.'
Since then, there has been tension between the two powerful countries of the world. Experts are predicting the possibility of nuclear war. However, this is not the first time this has happened. Even in 1962, both countries had come to the mouth of nuclear war, but then the devastation was averted because of a woman.
In today's story, we will learn about the same story of 1962 when Russia deployed a missile just 150 km away from America.
When the message of the US President in 1962 scared people around the world
On the morning of 4 September 1962, US President John F. Kennedy issued a warning. In his message, President Kennedy expressed the possibility of war in the next few days. After the Second World War, not only America, people from all over the world were scared after hearing about a situation like nuclear war once again.
There is a city named Florida in America. In early September 1962, US President John F. Kennedy was told by security agencies that Russia had deployed dangerous weapons and missiles in Cuba, 150 kilometers from the city.
Soon after, Kennedy issued a message to the American people. About 40 days later, on October 14, a US spy plane took 928 aerial photographs, which revealed not one or two nuclear missiles in Cuba.
Along with this, the possibility of a nuclear attack on large parts of America was also expressed. This input from the spy agency stunned the US government. It was one of the most critical moments of the Cold War when the world was close to a nuclear war.
As soon as Kennedy's order was received, the marines surrounded Cuba from all sides.
John F. Kennedy did not tolerate the fact that Russia deployed nuclear missiles under America's nose. Kennedy made it clear in his speech that he would not tolerate nuclear missiles in America's neighborhood. Along with this, Kennedy also talked about bringing this war to the end.
Preparations for an attack on Cuba began. The US President ordered his navy to completely encircle Cuba. After this, the US Navy fleet loaded with modern weapons surrounded Cuba from all sides.
Cuba had prepared itself for air and field war
Cuban President Fidel Castro was aware that as soon as the US received news of nuclear missile deployment, he would retaliate. For this reason, Cuba had already prepared itself. Journalist David Wallman reported in an article in the Smithsonian magazine that tanks, radar, and modern weapons were arriving in Cuba.
Russian radar and missiles were deployed for the airstrikes on Cuba. Russian troops also reached Cuba, but the Cuban Navy did not prepare much. In such a situation, the US ordered the Navy to surround this country situated in the middle of the Caribbean Sea in its neighborhood.
A woman saved the world standing at the edge of a nuclear war
For 4 weeks the world stood at the edge of a nuclear war. During this, every day the people of Cuba and America were living their lives in fear. A woman played an important role in taking the world out of this fear. The name of this American woman was Juanita Moody.
This woman worked as a cryptographer in the US intelligence agency. Meaning that the work of reading encrypted codes or messages. American forces surrounded Cuba in the Caribbean Sea. Until now Russia was delivering weapons to Cuba by sea route.
In such a situation, Russia now had no other way but to war to give arms to Cuba. When this fleet of Russian ships carrying weapons reached the Caribbean Sea, the situation of war was created.
It seemed that nuclear missiles would be fired from both sides in no time, but then Juanita Moody noticed that one of the fleets of Russian ships had changed its course and headed back toward Russia.
Juanita thought this was a sign of the Soviet army and that Russia did not want to collide with the US. Juanita first reported this to US Ambassador to the United Nations Adlai Stevenson. That's because Adlai Stevenson was about to make a big announcement at the United Nations.
This was the first indication that the US felt that a peaceful settlement with Russia could be reached. Since then the peace initiative started.
Russia ready to talk to America after 32 days
On 28 October 1962, US President John F. Kennedy sent two messages to Russian President Nikita Khrushchev. After this, Kennedy also received a message from Russian President Khrushchev. It was said in this message that Russia is ready to remove the nuclear missile, but for this America will have to accept 2 conditions.
Condition 1: The US will not attack Cuba.
Second condition: America will withdraw its missiles stationed in Turkey.
In this way, an agreement was reached between the two countries. In this way, Juanita Moody saved the world from nuclear war.
