How did the Cuban missiles crisis end?
It was in this Quarantine zone that the Essex Carrier Group was patrolling to prevent ships carrying Soviet missiles from reaching Cuba and also to prevent Soviet Submarines from passing by either. we might have seen the beginnings of World War 3 there, as the Soviet Submarines which patrolled that area were loaded with nuclear-tipped torpedoes and the missiles which were located on Cuba were also short to medium range nuclear missiles. But even so, after a ridiculous amount of correspondence between the two superpowers, Nikita Khrushchev agreed to remove his missiles from Cuba as long as JF Kennedy agreed to not invade Cuba. Agreeing to these terms Kennedy swore by everything holy not to invade, and Khrushchev did remove his missiles. The crisis was over.

The Cuban Missile Crisis occurred in October 1962. When the Soviet Union secretly put nuclear missiles on the island of Cuba, it nearly started a nuclear war between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. The missiles were discovered by routine spy-plane surveillance. The missiles were still in the process of being made launch-ready. However, President Kennedy had very little time to make a decision regarding what to do about it. His military advisers all but demanded a full-scale air strike, followed by an invasion of the island.
