What was the impact the Cuban Missile Crisis had on the world locally and globally?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

THE IMPACT THAT THIS ARMS RACE HAVE ON THE WORLD IS THAT IT WAS LEDING TO A MILITARY DETERRENCE BASED ON THE POSSESSION OF WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION BY OPPOSING POWERS BUT IS SOME SAW AS A STOP TO WAR.

Answer 3

It was a moment of great tension in the Cold War period. Cuba and the Soviet Union were allies and were opposed to the US. The Soviet Union stationed some of their missiles in Cuba, and since this country is really close to the US it posed a big threat to them.

Later on, the Soviet missiles saw their withdrawal and the US also withdraw some of their own missiles that were positioned in other countries close to the Soviet Union.

This crisis strenghtened Fidel Castro's position, both in Cuba and in the whole world, since "he" got out of the conflict as the winning part.

Negotiations were tense at first, but the final result was a direct telephone line being made between the leaders of the US and the Soviet Union at that time.
