summary: "The Berlin Wall (Berliner Mauer) was a fortified barrier separating East and West Berlin constructed by East Germany beginning August 13, 1961, to halt mass emigration from the GDR to the West. At its completion it ran approximately 155 kilometers around West Berlin, consisting of concrete walls, watchtowers, death strips, and fortified checkpoints. An estimated 140 people were killed attempting to cross. The Wall fell on November 9, 1989, following a miscommunication at a Stasi press conference, and its demolition accelerated the reunification of Germany."

summary: "The Cuban Missile Crisis (October 16-28, 1962) was a thirteen-day nuclear confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union triggered by the discovery of Soviet nuclear missile installations in Cuba. President John F. Kennedy imposed a naval quarantine of Cuba and demanded Soviet withdrawal. After back-channel negotiations, the Soviets agreed to remove the missiles in exchange for an American pledge not to invade Cuba and a secret commitment to remove American Jupiter missiles from Turkey. The crisis is widely considered the most dangerous moment of the Cold War."
