Relations between the United States and the Soviet Union improved.
The US agreed not to invade Cuba, if the Soviets agreed to remove all the nuclear missiles from Cuba. The US even dismantled the missiles they had in Turkey and, perhaps as a result of the crisis, Kennedy and Kruschchev began to trust each other. They introduced a Washington-Moscow Hotline, a telephone line that linked Russia and America which could be used if something like the Cuban Missile Crisis happened again, and a Treaty was signed in 1963 which banned the testing of nuclear weapons, unless underground, by Kennedy and Kruschchev. These were great achievements, considering the two nations hadn't agreed on anything or even spoken for years, and they were important steps towards peace, or at least tolerance, between them.
In May 1960, Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev promised military assistance to the beleaguered http://www.answers.com/topic/fidel-castro-5 regime in Cuba. Two years later, he saw that the USSR's relations with Cuba also represented a unique opportunity to offset the threat posed to Moscow by US nuclear missiles based in Turkey. In addition to aircraft, air defence systems, armoured vehicles, and troops, Khrushchev offered a selection of nuclear-armed medium and intermediate range ballistic missiles. Castro accepted the offer and within months the USA and the USSR were on the verge of all-out nuclear war. On 14 October 1962, following indications of increased military activity on Cuba and a growing Soviet presence, an American U-2 aircraft photographed missile sites in western Cuba. Subsequent intelligence indicated that the missiles-SS-4 and SS-5, both with 1 megaton warheads-had the ability to reach almost the entire continental USA, including every Strategic Air Command base. On 22 October 1962, after intense debate in the Executive Committee (ExComm) of the National Security Council, during which the possibilities of aerial bombardment or invasion of Cuba were discussed, US Pres John Kennedy announced a maritime http://www.answers.com/topic/blockade to prevent further shipments of missiles and military equipment. Kennedy also demanded that Khrushchev dismantle and remove all missiles from Cuba. For six terrifying days, the two superpowers considered their options until on 28 October Khrushchev agreed to Kennedy's demands. In return, the USA agreed never to invade Cuba and (secretly) to remove its missiles from Turkey.
