What was the outcome if the Cuban missile crisis?

Russia withdrew its nuclear missiles from Cuba and America, on the QT, removed outdated missiles from Turkey and did not replace them with new ones. The misnamed Red Phone was installed in the White House and the Kremlin to diffuse any future nuclear escalation.


What about the Cuban missile crisis is true?

Why did the US government want to remove soviet missiles in cuba?

For the same reason the USSR government wanted the US missiles in Turkey removed. They were seen as a threat and a provocation. Both the US and USSR got the missiles removed that they wanted removed (but the US wanted to pretend removing the missiles in Turkey had no connection to removing the missiles in Cuba for political reasons, and Khrushchev allowed this).


How did Cuba almost cause a nuclear was between the soviet union and the US?

The Cuban Missile Crisis. In 1962, The Soviet Union, in collaboration with Fidel Castro, began building nuclear missiles on the Island of Cuba. Because the Soviets technology at the time limited their nuclear missiles range, they felt that having missiles in Cuba was the only way of defending against an attack by the United States, whose nuclear arsenal could reach the Soviet Union at any time. Castro, after the failed Bay of Pigs invasion, thought that another attack by the U.S was inevitable and agreed to the Soviet installations. President Kennedy imposed a quarantine on the island by surrounding it with naval vessels and ordered the missiles to be dismantled. Several tense days went by, and the world was on the brink of nuclear war. the worst day being October 27th when a U2 reconnaissance plane was shot down. On October 28th, The U.S and the Soviet Union came to an agreement. The missiles and bombers would be removed from Cuba, and the U.S agreed not to invade Cuba, thus ending the crisis.


As a result of the cuban missile crisis?

An escalation of the conflict could have led to a nuclear strike by either superpower.

Why might the US place a naval blockade around Cuba?

JFK found out that the Russians had installed missiles on Cuba. With Cuba only 90 miles from US shores he told the Russians they had to remove the missiles and they refused, so he put a naval blockade on the island. For 3 days we thought there might be a nuclear war between the United States and Russia, but the Russians backed down and removed the missiles. An interesting point to this is the Russian ships still dock in Cuba and their connections with Cuba are still strong.
