Cuba missiles how did us react?
The United States, under JFK, ordered the Soviet Union, who first put them there, to take them out immediately. They then prepared for an Army invasion of Cuba in case they had to take the missiles out by force. When a blockade by the United States was put into action to prevent more missiles coming into Cuba, the Soviet Union took the missiles back as long as the United States agreed to have nothing ever to do with Cuba. This is why all relations to Cuba were cut off by the United States.

How many people died from the Berlin blockade?
As I understand it nobody died due to the Soviet blockade of Berlin. The US Air Force began flying in supplies long before that would have become an issue. A few deaths did result from airplane crashes during the airlift operations to supply Berlin. However of course some people did die during the period of the Soviet blockade of Berlin but those were from the usual causes people die from and were not directly connected to the blockade.

What was the most dangerous moment in the missiles crisis?
I assume you are asking about the Cuban Missile Crisis? If so then the bay of pigs was very tense, as Cuba/Russia could interpret the attack as a declaration of war against them and could launch. This attack was passed off and the next tense moment arrived at the end of the crisis, Kennedy had 5 options of what to do:Do nothing: American vulnerability to Soviet missiles was not new. Newly placed missiles in Cuba made little strategic difference in the military balance of power.Diplomacy: Use diplomatic pressure to get the Soviet Union to remove the missiles.Warning: Send a message to Castro to warn him of the grave danger he and Cuba were in.Blockade: Use the US Navy to block any missiles from arriving in Cuba.Air strike: Use the US Air Force to attack all known missile sites.Invasion: Full force invasion of Cuba and overthrow of Castro.These options all had negatives especially, 'Do nothing', 'Blockade', 'Air Strikes', and 'Invasion'. Diplomacy seemed to be the only way to solve the problem, however it could mean that Cuba/Russia would not remove the missiles and could leave some there in secret. Cuba remained communist because of Diplomacy, this may not have happened with some of the more violent solutions but those options could have caused missile launches.

What was the purpose of the Berlin Blockade?
In 1948 and 1949, Stalin decided to impose a blockade on West Berlin as part of an overall plan to bring West Berlin, then the whole of the western portion of Germany (still occupied by French, British, and American forces), into union with Soviet-controlled East Germany. By closing land-access to West Berlin, Stalin considered that the city would soon require Soviet assistance and thereby come under Soviet control.
