what happened during the cuban missile crisis?

• the u.s. and soviet union almost went to nuclear war over missiles the soviets built in cuba.
• the soviet union and u.s. worked together to send a man to the moon from cuba.
• the u.s. put missiles in cuba to defend the country from the soviets.
• the u.s. launched a full - scale nuclear attack against the soviet union.

Explanation:

The Cuban Missile Crisis (1962) was a tense standoff between the U.S. and Soviet Union after the U.S. discovered Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba, bringing the two superpowers to the brink of nuclear war. The other options are factually incorrect: the moon landing was a separate U.S. project, the U.S. did not place missiles in Cuba during this crisis, and no full-scale nuclear attack occurred.

Answer:

The U.S. and Soviet Union almost went to nuclear war over missiles the Soviets built in Cuba.
