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.
Both superpowers striving for their own self interest
Credit should go to both Nikita Kruchev and John Kennedy.
Yes you are right on both counts. John F. Kennedy was President January 20, 1961 until his death on November 22, 1963. The Bay of Pigs Invasion, was on April 15 1961, The Cuban Missile Crisis began on October 15, 1962 and ended on October 28, 1962,
There is many different answers, because the impact was huge. For Kennedy the central point is the bay of pigs and the Cuban missile crisis. Search them in Google for great links. For Johnson the Vietnam war was largely a cause of the Cold War. Cuban missile crisis Link: http://www.hpol.org/jfk/cuban/ , Christopher Moats http://backup.visuallink.com
After the Cuban missle crisis in October 1962 both the US and Russia realized how close we had come to a nuclear exchange. They established a "Hot Line" between the two countries to avoid any doubts in the event of an accidental launch in the future.

It was a result of the Cuban missile crisis. Both sides, the US & USSR, realized they needed to negotiate instead of threatening each other with nuclear weapons.

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.
There was no peace treaty since there was no war. It was crisis, but not a war. Had there been a war the world would be a different place. Both "stood down" and an aggreement was reached not to blow each other up.
Well, for starters, the Soviets wanted to place their missiles in Cuba because of the USA's missiles in Turkey. As a result this became later known as the Cuban Missile Crisis and led ultimately to some reductions in (nuclear) arms by both sides.

Russia put missiles on Cuba. Both Cuba and Russia were communist nations and with the missiles 90 miles from United States coastline JFK demanded that Russia remove the missiles, but Russia refused. JFK responded by placing navy ships off of Cuba and the Cuba Missile Crisis began.

The resolution of the Missile Crisis showed that neither the US nor the USSR wanted to go to war, but that both were determined not to easily back down. The heightened tensions lasted into the 1980's, and included the war in Vietnam and the invasion of Afghanistan. But never again did the two powers engage in open confrontation and brinkmanship.
