In 1962 president john f. kennedy was faced with a decision to avoid nuclear war. what occurred to place the united states in that position?

In 1949, the communists triumphed in the Chinese civil war, and the world's most populous nation joined the Soviet Union as a Cold War adversary. In 1950, North Korea invaded South Korea, and the United Nations and the United States sent troops and military aid. Communist China intervened to support North Korea, and bloody campaigns stretched on for three years until a truce was signed in 1953.

the answer is selfishly. hope this !

your answer would be just capitalism.
