Yes - as part of the "Cuban Missile Crisis", JFK decided to order a "quarantine" of Cuba to prevent more missiles from being shipped there. It wasn't officially designated a "blockade" because, by international law, a "blockade" is considered an act of war. In reality, this was just a semantic ruse because what was done was effectively a blockade. The blockade officially began when it was announced by Kennedy in a speech on October 22, 1962. The U.S. Government announced the end of the blockade effective at 6:45 pm EST on November 20, 1962 after inspecting aircraft and ships that were leaving Cuba carrying the subject missiles and support equipment.

When did the Soviet Union install missiles in Cuba?
There is no picture of any actual missiles in Cuba.. All the pictures are of sites and trucks and empty carriers and items covered up. The entire ploy was to get the US to remove Missiles from Turkey.
How did the Cuban missiles crisis end?
It was in this Quarantine zone that the Essex Carrier Group was patrolling to prevent ships carrying Soviet missiles from reaching Cuba and also to prevent Soviet Submarines from passing by either. we might have seen the beginnings of World War 3 there, as the Soviet Submarines which patrolled that area were loaded with nuclear-tipped torpedoes and the missiles which were located on Cuba were also short to medium range nuclear missiles. But even so, after a ridiculous amount of correspondence between the two superpowers, Nikita Khrushchev agreed to remove his missiles from Cuba as long as JF Kennedy agreed to not invade Cuba. Agreeing to these terms Kennedy swore by everything holy not to invade, and Khrushchev did remove his missiles. The crisis was over.

The Cuban missile crisis arose after the Soviets began?
The 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis arose after the Soviet Union began installing ballistic missiles at sites on the island of Cuba, with the United States protesting, the Soviet Union persisting, and then a naval blockade being thrown up by American naval forces to prevent successful delivery of still more missiles by the Soviet Navy. Reaching its height in late October of 1962, the crisis was resolved through careful, if also aggressive, diplomacy by the leaders of the Soviet Union (Khrushchev) and the United States (Kennedy).
When Soviet Union withdrew missiles from Cuba and US withdrew missiles from?
Turkey
What did the Americans do to prevent war during the Cuban missile crisis?
President Kennedy demanded that the Soviet Union remove the missile base from Cuba. He also ordered a US air and naval blockade of Cuba to prevent Soviet arms shipments from reaching Cuba. He prepared to invade Cuba in case Khrushchev did not withdraw his missiles. He made an agreement with Khrushchev at the last minute: Khrushchev agreed to remove the missiles from Cuba, ordered his ships to turn back to Soviet Union; Kennedy promised not to put missiles in Turkey, near the Soviet border. After this agreement Kennedy lifted the blockade and promised not to invade Cuba.
Who put the missiles in Cuba?
The Soviet Union.
What country did the US and soviet union had a dangerous standoff over the presence of soviet missiles?
Cuba. The reason the USSR put missiles there was to get rid of the U.S. Jupiter missiles in Turkey. Both were removed.
How did the US react to the missiles in cuba?
Kennedy responded to Soviet missiles in Cuba by a naval quarantine of Cuba to prevent the shipment of new missiles coupled with nuclear threat. When soviet ships carrying missiles were near to Cuba, the were stopped by American ships and ordered to turn back. No one in the US knew what the Soviets might do, but they turned back peacefully.There have already been tensions between Cuba and the US ever since Castro came to power in the late 1950s. Cuba became communist and began negotiations with the Soviet Union (The US's enemy during the Cold War). The Soviet Union wanted to counter the US missiles in Turkey by sending intermediate ranged missiles into Cuba. This action caused panic within America and President Kennedy was forced to promise that he would no longer attempt to overthrow Castro or the Cuba government and he would take his missiles out of Turkey if the Soviet Union took their missiles out of the Cuba.He ordered a Quarantine on cuba and stopped the soviet ships from bringing any missiles to cuba. This was due to concerns that the soviets can attack the west.
