Cuban Missile Crisis The Cuban Missile Crisis, also known as the October Crisis (Spanish: "Crisis de Octubre" ), the Caribbean Crisis (Russian: Карибский кризис , "Karibskij krizis"), or the Missile Scare, was a 13-day (October 16–28, 1962) confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union concerning American ballistic missile deployment in Italy and Turkey with consequent Soviet ballistic missile deployment in Cuba. The confrontation is often considered the closest the Cold War came to escalating into a full-scale nuclear war.
Kweilin incident The "Kweilin" incident occurred on August 24, 1938 when a Douglas DC-2 airliner (the "Kweilin") carrying 18 passengers and crew was destroyed by Japanese aircraft in China. There were fourteen fatalities. It was the first civilian airliner in history to be shot down by hostile aircraft. The pilot was American and the crew and passengers Chinese. As it was unprecedented for a civilian aircraft to be attacked, there was international diplomatic outrage over the incident. In the United States, it helped solidify the popular view that Japan was morally wrong in their war against China, but the incident was not enough to spur the US into action against Japan despite Chinese entreaties. The "Kweilin" was re-built and destroyed by the Japanese a second time two years later.
