Because Of the bay of pigs, the Cuban missile crisis took place. It was a 13 - Day confrontation between the Soviet Union and Cuba vs the United States. This was the only time when the United States and the Soviet Union came into crisis/nuclear warfare during the Cold War. After the US had placed nuclear missiles in Turkey and Italy, aimed at Moscow, and the failed US attempt to overthrow the Cuban regime, in May 1962 Nikita Khrushchev proposed the idea of placing Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba to deter any future invasion attempt.
