How did the US react to the missiles in cuba?
Kennedy responded to Soviet missiles in Cuba by a naval quarantine of Cuba to prevent the shipment of new missiles coupled with nuclear threat. When soviet ships carrying missiles were near to Cuba, the were stopped by American ships and ordered to turn back. No one in the US knew what the Soviets might do, but they turned back peacefully.There have already been tensions between Cuba and the US ever since Castro came to power in the late 1950s. Cuba became communist and began negotiations with the Soviet Union (The US's enemy during the Cold War). The Soviet Union wanted to counter the US missiles in Turkey by sending intermediate ranged missiles into Cuba. This action caused panic within America and President Kennedy was forced to promise that he would no longer attempt to overthrow Castro or the Cuba government and he would take his missiles out of Turkey if the Soviet Union took their missiles out of the Cuba.He ordered a Quarantine on cuba and stopped the soviet ships from bringing any missiles to cuba. This was due to concerns that the soviets can attack the west.

Why was us worried about Soviet missiles in Cuba?
Cuba is only 90 miles from Florida, so to have soviet missiles that close to American shores was very dangerous. Castro was working with the Russians in 1963 and was very much a militarist as well as aggressive in his policies. He had just gained power in the late 50's and early 60's and could have/would have used the missiles with the blessing of the Russians.
What options did the US have to counter the soviets to build up missiles in Cuba?
They advised the Soviet Union that an attack on the US from Cuba would be considered as an attack by the Soviet Union- and response would be to the Soviet union, not just to Cuba. The US also implemented a blockade of shipping going to Cuba- no ship carrying missiles would be allowed to go TO Cuba.
When the Cuban Missile Crisis was resolved The Soviet Union withdrew missiles from Cuba and the US withdrew missiles for where?
