Abstract: Is there a mechanism common to all international belligerent crises? The answer is yes: the
process was developed in 1991, then refined to a pattern known since 1995, which underlined the
importance of the effect of threshold. Presented as a major moment of the Cold War, the Cuban
Missile Crisis is analyzed here through this pattern, as it is a complex threshold, with numerous
interweavings: indeed every element relates to other components, which are themselves linked to
others.
