Did President Kennedy remove nuclear missiles from Turkey to resolve a crisis?
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.
What did the Americans do to prevent war during the Cuban missile crisis?
President Kennedy demanded that the Soviet Union remove the missile base from Cuba. He also ordered a US air and naval blockade of Cuba to prevent Soviet arms shipments from reaching Cuba. He prepared to invade Cuba in case Khrushchev did not withdraw his missiles. He made an agreement with Khrushchev at the last minute: Khrushchev agreed to remove the missiles from Cuba, ordered his ships to turn back to Soviet Union; Kennedy promised not to put missiles in Turkey, near the Soviet border. After this agreement Kennedy lifted the blockade and promised not to invade Cuba.
