Cuban Missile Crisis (Brief results)

Date October 14–28, 1962
Blockade of Cuba ended November 20, 1962
Location Cuba
Result
  • Withdrawal of the Soviet Union's nuclear missiles from Cuba
  • Withdrawal of the United States' nuclear missiles from Turkey and Italy
  • Agreement with the Soviet Union that the United States would never invade Cuba
  • Creation of a nuclear hotline between Washington and Moscow
  • Fidel Castro's position as Cuban leader strengthened[1]:335                        

IN this 13 days tense situation, it appears that the US made a good negotiation withdrawing its nuclear missiles from its bases in Europe and to never invade Cuba for the sake of avoiding WWIII and probably end of the world. All credits seem to go to the President John F Kennedy admin and particularly him & his political adviser . A step back for peace!!! What US did is morally right for peace.
