- While USA was following capitalist model of economy, Soviet Union was following communism. This resulted in ideological differences between both the countries.
- Though both countries did not engage in actual fight with each other, there were uneasy political tensions between the two states. Both countries followed policies to strengthen themselves and to weaken the other. This period of uneasy tension and political instability is known as the Cold War.

During the Cuban Missile Crisis, leaders of the U.S. and the Soviet Union engaged in a tense, 13-day political and military standoff in October 1962 over the installation of nuclear-armed Soviet missiles on Cuba, just 90 miles from U.S. shores. In a TV address on October 22, 1962, President John Kennedy (1917-63) notified Americans about the presence of the missiles, explained his decision to enact a naval blockade around Cuba and made it clear the U.S. was prepared to use military force if necessary to neutralize this perceived threat to national security. Following this news, many people feared the world was on the brink of nuclear war. However, disaster was avoided when the U.S. agreed to Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev’s (1894-1971) offer to remove the Cuban missiles in exchange for the U.S. promising not to invade Cuba. Kennedy also secretly agreed to remove U.S. missiles from Turkey.

(i) April 1961 : The leaders of the USSR feared that the USA might invade communist-ruled Cuba and overthrow Fidel Castro, the President of Cuba.
(ii) In 1962, in order to convert Cuba into a Russian base, Nikita Khrushchev, the Soviet leader, placed nuclear missiles in Cuba.
(iii) John F. Kennedy, the US President, asked USSR to remove the missiles and nuclear weapons from Cuba because these had put the US under fire from close range.
(iv) Kennedy ordered American warships to intercept Soviet ships heading to Cuba.
(v) As a result of President Kennedy's bold move, the Soviet ships slowed down and turned back. Thus, a nuclear war between two blocs was avoided.
