After the discovery of installation sites in Cuba by the Soviet union, Kennedy called together the National Security Council, DOD, etc. to discuss what to do with this. We came up with three options. 1)Invade Cuba-Bay of pigs was a failure. 2) Air Strike- were afraid if we did do that ,t hey would shoot our planes3) Leave it alone. No one was really satisfied with those three option so we decided to Quarantine AKA Blockade Cuba. The Cuban Missile Crisis scared everyone to death; we were on the verge of nuclear war. In 1963 the US and the Soviet Union Signed a nuclear Test Ban Treaty which banned the testing of atomic weapons. A hotline was also set up between Moscow and Washington D.C.

President Kennedy admitted to lack of missile gap unlike Eisenhower. He said that the US was way ahead of the Soviets in the developing missiles. This made Khrushchev (The Soviet leader) look bad. And this angers Cuba a lot especially, after our failed attempt with the Bay of Pigs. Castro starts to buddy up with the Soviets a lot more. Khrushchev doesn't want to see the US take Cuba down. So he offers to arm Castro with weapons. The US had the Soviet Union surrounded with missile sites and the Soviets wanted at least one site near the US. If they could get Cuba they would have their "one place". A U2 planes discovered installation sites being built in Cuba by the soviets. Kennedy called together the National Security Council, DOD, etc. to discuss what to do with this. We came up with three options. 1)Invade Cuba-Bay of pigs was a failure. 2) Air Strike- were afraid if we did do that ,t hey would shoot our planes3) Leave it alone.

The agreement that was made to end the Cuban Missile Crisis was between The Soviet Union and President Kennedy administration. The details of the deal were to be kept a secret between Khrushchev of the Soviet Union and President Kennedy. It is documented that after their agreement missiles were being dismantles in many countries.

The key agreement that ended the missile crisis was a pledge by US President Kennedy not to invade Cuba and to lift the quarantine. The Soviet Union agreed to withdraw their missiles from Cuba. There were also negotiations about American missiles in Turkey. The US response was that previous plans had already been made to dismantle the missiles in Turkey and they were in April of 1963.
