Why wasn’t there a Turkish Missile Crisis? (Short Animated Documentary)

When the USSR placed Nuclear Weapons in Cuba the United States was quick to publicly demand that the Soviet Union remove them or face war. As many will know they were placed there in response to the USA putting its own nukes in Turkey beforehand. But the USSR never said anything publicly about the US deploying atomic weapons on its own borders nor did it demand their removal. So why not? To find out watch this short and simple animated history documentary. A special thanks to my patreon supporters: Jens Koch-Nommensen Øystein Alsaker Arcedia Sergio M.
