Naval blockade that we called a quarantine to avoid it being labeled an act of war (which it actually was).
The Bay of Pigs Invasion (known as La Batalla de Girón, or Playa Girón in Cuba), was an unsuccessful attempt by a CIA-trained force of Cuban exiles to invade southern Cuba with support from US government armed forces, to overthrow the Cuban government of Fidel Castro. The Invasion was launched April 17, 1961. (Wikipedia) The Cuban Missile Crisis was a confrontation between the United States, the Soviet Union, and Cuba in October 1962, during the Cold War. It was an effort of the United states to prevent Russia from delivering missiles to Cuba, which would be a direct threat to the national security of the United States.
The Cuban Missile Crisis brought the world to the brink of war because the United States stated that they would use any means to stop the USSR from bringing missiles to Cuba. The USSR was just as determined to take the missiles to Cuba. This led to a tense stand off between the two countries. Had the USSR not backed down, the two countries would have gone to war and their allies would have been pulled into the conflict.

The Berlin Wall and the Cuban Missile Crisis were both situations that defined the presidency of John F. Kennedy. Chairman Nikita Khrushchev of the Soviet was convinced that since Kennedy did nothing to stop the building of the wall that he would also do nothing about the placement of missiles in Cuba.
John F. Kennedy Actually there were never any missiles fired during the Cuban Missile Crisis, JFK instituted a blockade to stop Soviet missiles from reaching Cuba, the Soviets backed off without a missile being fired.

Well their was no official agreement by the US, but its foreign ambassador promised to the Soviet ambassador that the US would not invade cuba, and that they would remove their missies in Turkey while the soviets would remove their missiles from Cuba
Both sides won, because President john F. Kennedy oredered a blockade to stop cuba from getting the nuclear missiles. Then cuba and the u.s. both agreed to detonate their missiles, because they were afraid it would turn into another war.
