Please comment if you find a different answer.
Cuban missle crisis was wrong
I had to compare the dates of the “Hindenburg disaster” and the “Cuban missile crisis”, that’s why “Cuban missile crisis” was the correct answer for me.
If you had to compare the “Cuban missile crisis” with another event, you should have checked the date of that event to get the correct answer.
That’s why I have put the date of some of the major events.
