Cuban Missile Crisis: How Was Nuclear War Avoided?

 Many people believe that war cannot be avoided. However, this event in history proved that humans themselves are able to prevent human-made conflict: by keeping rational thought. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, John F. Kennedy and his group of advisors made every decision after carefully examining the consequences, and did not act upon anger and impulse. Most wars are started without the realization that there are more peaceful ways in solving conflict. It was all because of the persistence JFK and certain members of his group had held during these two weeks, while many objected and insisted on war due to impulse. Having communicated carefully with the Russians, who also had certain members of the equivalent persistence, a peaceful negotiation was able to take place, preventing nuclear war and preserving world peace.
