  • Cuban Missile Crisis was a high tension standoff involving no actual military combat. However any slight error by either side could have suddenly turned the cold war into a full hot war using mostly high yield fusion bombs on both sides.
  • Both wars in Iraq involved full air, ground, and sea combat and much destruction. However there was never any serious threat of use of any kind of nuclear weapons by either side.
