The president of the USA, John F. Kennedy, decided to place a naval blockade on Cuba. The Soviet ships carrying missiles to be placed in the nearly finished Cuban missile silos approached the blockade and failed to stop. Eventually, at the last second, the ships turned around, and a deal had been reached between the two superpowers. The USSR removed the missile bases, and the USA agreed not to invade Cuba and to accept communist control of Cuba. In secret, President Kennedy had agreed to remove the American missiles in Turkey, which were providing the same threat to the USSR as to the USA.
