You need to work this answer abit but the jist of it is:
YES the Cuban Missile Crisis was a turning point in the cold war,because:
1. Khrushchev lost prestige - the Russian army generals didn't forgive for having chosen peace (what ither choice did he have?). China broke from Russia, saw her as unable tostand up to the forces of the West.
2. Kennedy gained prestige, his cool yet hawkish response was greatly praised. He was seen as the man who faced down the Russians.
3. Both sides had had a fright. They were more careful in future. The two leaders set up a telephone 'hotline' to talk directly in a future crisis situation.
4. In 1963, they agreed a Nuclear Test Ban Treaty +Treaty for the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons
5. Cuba remained a Communist Dictatorship, but America left it alone.
NO, it wasn't a turning point because:
1. Ideologies on both sides remained the same, both superpowers still had the same suspicions towards each other. Changed actions not convictions!
2. Tensions arose through the proxy-wars (ie: Vietnam, Afghanistan...)
3. Peace had been accepted mainly because there was NO alternative apart from nuclear annihilation.
4. Crisis was a "pretext", only forced them to physically experience what they had been imagining for several years already, less a consequence of the crisis then of what led up to it.
