Explanation:

The Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 was one of the several crises that occurred during the Cold War.
The Cold War also led to several shooting wars, but it is important to note that these crises and wars did not lead to another world war.
The two superpowers were poised for direct confrontations in Korea (1950 - 53), Berlin (1958 - 62), the Congo (the early 1960s), and in several other places.
Crises deepened, as neither of the parties involved was willing to back down.
