【Cuban Missile Crisis】1962: Every Country Ranked +10 to -10 | Mr. Incredible Mapping

October 1962: U-2 spy planes spot Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba, and for 13 days humanity holds its breath. In this video, we rank EVERY country in the world in 1962 from +10 (paradise) to -10 (nightmare) using the Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny meme — each nation gets a face that matches just how livable (or unlivable) it was that year. 1962 was a hinge point in the Cold War. The Cuban Missile Crisis brought the US and USSR to the edge of nuclear annihilation. The Évian Accords ended eight years of war and granted Algeria independence, while Rwanda, Burundi, and Uganda also broke free from colonial rule. In Asia, the Sino-Indian War erupted along the McMahon Line, and the Sino-Soviet split widened into an open rift inside the communist bloc. At the bottom: Yemen (-9) collapsing into civil war, alongside Congo-Kinshasa, Algeria, Laos, and China (-8). At the top: tiny, stable Liechtenstein (8), followed by Japan, Sweden, San Marino, and Denmark (7). English narration with key terms noted for international viewers. Which country surprised you most?
