One of the great success stories of the 1960s was the agreement of Nations to avoid a feared proliferation of nuclear weapons to many countries.

The wake up call of the Cuban Missile crisis in 1962 changed the then prevailing view that nuclear missiles and shells could be used with little thought.

After 1962 NATO moved to "flexible response" from "massive retaliation".

Without the Cuban Missile Crisis things might have been very different. But that belongs in the Alt History realm.
