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.

Agreeing to these terms Kennedy swore by everything holy not to invade, and Khrushchev did remove his missiles. The crisis was over.

The placement of U.S. nuclear missiles in Turkey is thought to have provoked the Cuban Missile Crisis. Missiles in Turkey were close enough to strike Moscow, so Russia placed armaments in Cuba, which was within striking distance of U.S. soil. The Missile Crisis, began on October 14th 1962. Robert Kennedy said, during negotiations with the Russians that the missiles would be removed within a short time after the crisis ended. The Missile Crisis ended on October 28th of 62 and the missiles were quietly taken out of turkey some time after April 24th 1963.
Does the President of the United States have a 'red button' to launch Nuclear Missiles?
No, the President of the United States does not have a "red button" of any sort, in the Oval Office or elsewhere. Nuclear Missiles cannot be deployed from a direct command from the President; his command must be confirmed by the Secretary of Defence before the military take action. Note that the Secretary of Defence cannot authorize the launch of Nuclear Missiles without the President first doing so. Nicknamed the "Football", a black briefcase is carried with the President at all times. The briefcase is believed to contain nuclear codes and various pieces of equipment that authorize the deployment of Nuclear Missiles wherever the President is in the world; it functions as a mobile hub in the strategic defense system of the United States.
Why did both sides win in the Cuban Missile Crisis?
Both sides won, because President john F. Kennedy oredered a blockade to stop cuba from getting the nuclear missiles. Then cuba and the u.s. both agreed to detonate their missiles, because they were afraid it would turn into another war.
