The Cuban Missile Crisis, occurring in October 1962, was a pivotal Cold War confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union. It began when the U.S. discovered Soviet nuclear missiles stationed in Cuba, just 90 miles from Florida, heightening fears of a potential nuclear conflict. The crisis brought the world to the brink of nuclear war, as President Kennedy and Premier Khrushchev engaged in intense negotiations. Ultimately, the situation was resolved peacefully with the Soviet Union agreeing to remove the missiles in exchange for a U.S. pledge not to invade Cuba and the secret removal of American missiles from Turkey.
the Cuban missile crisis affected us by the penis accidentaly getting out of control and producing to much for America to handle...this was almost as big of a tragedy as world war 2.
It was a part of the nuclear arms race, not just the number of available warheads and the delivry systems, but also the time factor. Time from launch detection to detonation had become a critical factor in strategic planning. The U-2 incident with the Soviets had broken off talks on weapons limitations. The botched CIA backed Bay of Pigs Invasion of Cuba had increased US-Cuban tension, Castro declared Cuba as a Socialist state and aligned itself with the USSR. The balance of power would be shifted greatly if missiles were placed in Cuba where US cities were only 16 minutes away from nuclear destruction. The USSR had a missile advantage. The US had a two to one warhead advantage, Intermediate Range Ballistic Missiles in Turkey and the big advantage of Submarine Launched Ballistic Missles. The US wanted to maintain its advantage.
In better detail; The Cuba Missile Crisis, the Cold War, and Fidel Castro who had seized power in Cuba. --- Cuba and the cold war, and Castro
Cuba - Fidel Castro USSR - Nikita Krushchev USA - John F. Kennedy Castro did not play that big a role. The missiles belonged to the USSR, and were operated by Soviet soldiers. The showdown over the missiles was between the USA and the USSR more than with Cuba itself. Cuba was regarded as doing whatever the USSR told them to do.
Within its brief but highly tense duration, the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis affected the world in a deeply negative way: it caused fear and anxiety on a widespread scale while also causing further polarization of nations supporting Cuba and the Soviet Union and nations supporting the United States. At the same time, it provided individuals and societies an opportunity to demonstrate courage and determination; further, a number of world-leaders used the crisis as an opportunity to speak up powerfully on behalf of peace throughout the world.

His two big crises involved the USSR , the most notable being the Berlin blockade and the Cuban missile crisis. He also ran into serious trouble in Viet-nam, trying to keep a favorable government in power.
Mainly it was the fear of Fidel Castro taking power in Cuba , so close to the U.s.A. additional info The big concern was not so much Castro, but the deals that he made with the Russians. One deal was to let the Russians put missiles on Cuba and since Cuba is only 90 miles off of FLA shores this was too close for the U.S. This is why we had the Cuban Missile crisis.
I admire John F. Kennedy for his charismatic leadership and vision for a more inclusive and progressive America. His emphasis on civil rights and commitment to space exploration inspired a generation to dream big and strive for change. Additionally, his ability to communicate effectively during times of crisis, such as the Cuban Missile Crisis, showcased his resolve and diplomatic skills. Kennedy's legacy continues to influence American politics and culture today.

There was a great possibility that a (nuclear) war could begin between America and Russia. Or, an incident could happen that could lead to localised conflict based in and around Cuba. When Russia turned their ships, transporting nuclear rockets, away from Cuba and headed back towards Russia, a great relief was felt throughout the West.
