What did the US gain after the Cuban missile crisis?
No one really "won" and no one really "lost". Both the USSR and the US realized that they needed to improve communications and understanding after the missile crisis. In the Cold War, neither the US nor the USSR wanted to start a nuclear war, start a conventional war, or otherwise harm the other country. Rather, both countries had poor communication with each other and was suspicious of what the other side was doing. The USSR wasn't very happy that despite the fact they won the war in Europe in favour of the allies, they allies didn't trust them with nuclear weapons. Naturally, the USSR developed their own nuclear weapons. When the US heard of this, they began building more nuclear weapons, etc.
What was the US response to the Cuban Missile Crisis?
President Kennedy admitted to lack of missile gap unlike Eisenhower. He said that the US was way ahead of the Soviets in the developing missiles. This made Khrushchev (The Soviet leader) look bad. And this angers Cuba a lot especially, after our failed attempt with the Bay of Pigs. Castro starts to buddy up with the Soviets a lot more. Khrushchev doesn't want to see the US take Cuba down. So he offers to arm Castro with weapons. The US had the Soviet Union surrounded with missile sites and the Soviets wanted at least one site near the US. If they could get Cuba they would have their "one place". A U2 planes discovered installation sites being built in Cuba by the soviets. Kennedy called together the National Security Council, DOD, etc. to discuss what to do with this. We came up with three options. 1)Invade Cuba-Bay of pigs was a failure. 2) Air Strike- were afraid if we did do that ,t hey would shoot our planes3) Leave it alone. No one was really satisfied with those three option so we decided to Quarantine AKA Blockade Cuba. The Cuban Missile Crisis scared everyone to death; we were on the verge of nuclear war. In 1963 the US and the Soviet Union Signed a nuclear Test Ban Treaty which banned the testing of atomic weapons. A hotline was also set up between Moscow and Washington D.C.
What contributed to the end of the Cuban missile crisis?

There was at minimum one missile shot shot during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The Deputy of the Soviet Union Commander Gen. Issa Pliyev ordered a U-2 spy plane be shot at. The Deputy was Gen. Stepan Grechko. The missile was fired and the U-2 spy plane was shot down.
How did the Cuban missile crisis affect relations between the US and the USSR?
the Cuban Missile Crisis affected Cuba because after the U.S. blockaded Cuba and prevented Cuba from receiving or giving trade goods, the economy dwindled until it got to the point that Cuba couldn't afford launching the missile that the soviet union gave them.
There had to be a hot line between us so we would be alerted if, at any point, war was announced. We would be called into the war for sure so we had to know when it would happen.
Why were the people kicked out of Cuba by Castro during the Cuban Missile Crisis?
Cuba did not have the prisons necessary to house his unwanted people; so he let them go elsewhere.

I think Federal character is a doctrine or principle which ensures equitable allocation of the nations resources and also equitable representation of citizens of a country in a political, economic or social positions within the country so that no section or segment of the countries population is marginalized or oppressed. This is a basic feature of federalism or federal system of government.
Why didn't the US overthrow Castro?
Castro took charge of Cuba in 1959. The US tried to invade and overthrow Castro's government in the 1961 Bay of Pigs Invasion; the country repelled the US forces. Cuba had become allies with the Soviet Union in 1959, and after the failed US invasion attempt, the Soviet Union and Cuba agreed to secretly station nuclear missiles in Cuba. The US was already experiencing tension with the Soviet Union; if they attacked Cuba again, the Soviet Union/Cuba would react by initiating war via the missiles. The Cuban Missile Crisis brought the US to the brink of nuclear war with the Soviet Union, and after the removal of the missiles was negotiated, the US backed down because they didn't want tensions to heighten again. This happened during the Cold War, which started in 1947 and didn't end until 1991. The embargo set up by the US against Cuba in 1962 is still in effect today; other US interactions with Cuba have been minimal.
There were actually a series of events during 1793 and 1794 that could be termed crisis situations. The French tried to get the new nation of the United States to enter in the war against Great Britain. There was a rebellion in western Pennsylvania known as the Whiskey Rebellion which had to do with the payment of taxes by the farmers to the government. Indians were attempting to block US westward settlement in the Ohio Valley area and relations between the US and Great Britain were on the verge of breaking. MrV
