The Cuban missile crises comes to mind.

Seriously?? Here's the specific question I asked in Post No. 83:

When did either the United States or the Soviet Union ever threaten first use of nuclear weapons to force the surrender of another country? And your answer is "the Cuban missile crisis??" Okay, please tell me which country was ordered to surrender, and who threatened the first use of nukes if they didn't surrender, because I have no idea. That wasn't what the Crisis was about.

I see you conveniently left out the second part of my post about the US exploding TWO nuclear bombs over Japan and slaughtering huge numbers of civilians, to force Japan to surrender. At a time when only the US had nuclear bombs.
