10. Give a detailed summary of two Cold War Events. Cuban missle crisis 

# data[].attributes.body
The Cuban Missile Crisis began on July 1962. It was a time of fear due to nuclear war. The United States flew a spy drone over Cuba when they discovered a missile site. The United States saw it as a potential threat and decided to set up a naval blockade to stop any other imports of missiles entering Cuba. The United States ordered the Soviets to remove the missiles. The final decision made was that the Soviet Union would remove the missiles if the United States agreed to not invade Cuba.
U.S.–Soviet relations continued to worsen in 1946 and 1947. A worried United States tried to stop the growing Soviet threat to Eastern Europe. President Truman adopted a foreign policy called containment. It was a policy directed at blocking Soviet influence and stopping the expansion of communism. Containment policies included forming alliances and helping weak countries resist Soviet advances.
