That list would take forever to crank out.

The three major or central figures were Fidel Castro of Cuba, who wanted a defenisve and offensive nuclear missle system that could enhance the power and prestige of a small island in the Western Hemisphere.

Nikita Kruchev sought a method to counterbalance the IRBM threat that

the US had introduced around the Soviet Union. Cuba as a missle base

was a Golden Opporunity that might not be presened ever again.

JFK selected an unconvential way to revert a crisis to something that may

be resolved in the diplomatic arena. International Law spells out the

difference between a Quarantine and a Blockade and a JFK chose the

language that enabled negotiations and the withdrawal of the Soviet

weapons from Cuba.
