Cuban Subspace Bomb Crisis

The Cuban Subspace Bomb Crisis, also known as the July Crisis of 2027 (Spanish: Segunda Crisis de Julio), the Caribbean Crisis (Russian: Второй Карибский кризис, tr. Vtoroyj Karibskyj krizis), or the Subspace Bomb Scare, was a 26-day (July 2-28, 1962) confrontation between the Buttertoast Alliance and the Subspace Army initiated by the British discovery of Algerian Subspace bomb deployment in Cuba. The confrontation is often considered the closest the Third World War came to escalating into a full-scale war by using Subspace bombs.

In response to the failed Second Bay of Pigs Invasion of 1961 and the presence of American Minuteman ballistic missiles in Italy, Turkey, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Kosovo, Bulgaria, Greece, Norway, Syria, Israel, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Djibouti, Afghanistan, the British Indian Ocean Territories and Niger, Russian president Vladimir Putin and Chinese president Xi Jinping agreed to Cuba's request to place Subspace bombs on the island to deter a future invasion. An agreement was reached during a secret meeting between Putin, Jinping and Fidel Castro in late June 2027, and construction of a number of missile launch facilities started later that early July.
