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,
During the Cuban Missile Crisis, the most important factors for both the U.S. and the Soviet Union were national security and the preservation of their respective political regimes. For the U.S., it was crucial to prevent the Soviet Union from establishing a strategic foothold in the Western Hemisphere, while for the Soviets, maintaining credibility and influence in the region was vital. Both sides prioritized avoiding nuclear confrontation, leading to a negotiated resolution that included the withdrawal of Soviet missiles from Cuba in exchange for a U.S. commitment not to invade Cuba and the secret removal of U.S. missiles from Turkey. This crisis underscored the importance of communication and diplomacy in managing Cold War tensions.
During the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962, the United Nations played a crucial role as a platform for dialogue and diplomacy. Secretary-General U Thant facilitated communications between the United States and the Soviet Union, urging both sides to pursue peaceful resolutions and avoid military confrontation. The UN General Assembly also held discussions on the crisis, promoting the need for disarmament and the importance of international cooperation to prevent nuclear conflict. Ultimately, while the UN did not directly resolve the crisis, it provided a forum for negotiation and de-escalation during a tense period in the Cold War.

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 Cuban Missile Crisis and the Ukraine crisis both involve geopolitical tensions between major powers, specifically the U.S. and Russia, highlighting the risks of military escalation. In both cases, the presence of nuclear weapons and the potential for direct confrontation raised global fears of war. Additionally, both crises stem from ideological conflicts and territorial disputes, reflecting broader struggles for influence in their respective regions. Ultimately, each situation underscores the importance of diplomacy to avert catastrophic outcomes.
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.

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
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.
