In the early 1980s the Soviets were going crazy invading everywhere on the planet. (You personally I'm sure know about Angola.) They also brought out the new SS-20 IRBM, a missile designed for nuking Europe even better than before. NATO decided that they should have American equivalents deployed there to match that. Pershing II, a ballistic missile with extremely good accuracy for the time and nuclear Tomahawks on trucks.
The Soviets controlled the whole "anti-nuclear" movement in western Europe, so they whipped up a frenzy of young r-slurred college kids. It's hard to describe what their claims were because they were really incoherent. Basically that American missiles pointed at Russia put them in danger but Russian missiles pointed that them by people wanting to kill them would magically disappear if the Americans left. There were massive protests all over the continent.
Fortunately the adults prevailed. European governments approved it. The American missiles were deployed. Very soon Reagan and Gorbachev made a deal where both sides agreed to remove their missiles of this category. This was the beginning of the end of the Cold War. Tankie kids who wanted to be nuked by the Soviets screamed and cried out that they wanted war but world peace won in the end.
