Results of the Cuban missile crisis?

Question

What were the results of the Cuban missile crisis?

Answer 1

As a result of the Cuban Missile Crisis the US furthered its tensions with Cuba. In the beginning Fidel Castro had been a capitalist, but when Washington failed to send him financial aid he went to the Russians, who were glad to prop up his government. As a result a "No Interference" agreement was passed stating that the US would no longer interfere in Cuban Affairs. Also, when Kruschev backed down it was a huge blow to his popularity back home, and Russia suffered. Also, the embargo on American good was placed in effect, to try and make it difficult for Cubans to trade and travel and visa versa with the US.

Answer 2

I have just written a paper on this topic…

As a result of the Cuban Missile Crisis the Soviet Union dismantled their weapons sites in Cuba and shipped the missiles back to the USSR. While the crisis was ongoing Castro tried to have Khrushchev make a guarantee that if the United States were to invade Cuba he would use the missiles on the United States, which further worsened the situation between Kennedy and Castro. Finally, in order to complete the deal Khrushchev wanted a bit in return so Kennedy arranged for tactical weapons that the United States had stationed in Turkey to be removed on the condition of secrecy. Due to unclassified documents we now have access to this information. The movie 13 days as well as Robert Kennedy’s book on the events are great sources if you are interested.

The whole dope on it Please read the last para for specific answer
(October 1962), major confrontation that brought the United States and the Soviet Union close to war over the presence of Soviet nuclear-armed missiles in Cuba.

Having promised in May 1960 to defend Cuba with Soviet arms, the Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev assumed that the United States would take no steps to prevent the installation of Soviet medium- and intermediate-range ballistic missiles in Cuba. Such missiles could hit much of the eastern United States within a few minutes if launched from Cuba. The United States learned in July 1962 that the Soviet Union had begun missile shipments to Cuba. By August 29 new military construction and the presence of Soviet technicians had been reported by U.S. U-2 spy planes flying over the island, and on October 14 the presence of a ballistic missile on a launching site was reported.

After carefully considering the alternatives of an immediate U.S. invasion of Cuba (or airstrikes of the missile sites), a blockade of the island, or further diplomatic maneuvers, President John F. Kennedy decided to place a naval “quarantine,” or blockade, on Cuba to prevent further Soviet shipments of missiles. Kennedy announced the quarantine on October 22 and warned that U.S. forces would seize “offensive weapons and associated matériel” that Soviet vessels might attempt to deliver to Cuba. During the following days, Soviet ships bound for Cuba altered course away from the quarantined zone. As the two superpowers hovered close to the brink of nuclear war, messages were exchanged between Kennedy and Khrushchev amidst extreme tension on both sides. On October 28 Khrushchev capitulated, informing Kennedy that work on the missile sites would be halted and that the missiles already in Cuba would be returned to the Soviet Union. In return, Kennedy committed the United States never to invade Cuba. Kennedy also secretly promised to withdraw the nuclear-armed missiles that the United States had stationed in Turkey in previous years. In the following weeks both superpowers began fulfilling their promises, and the crisis was over by late November. Cuba's communist leader, Fidel Castro, was infuriated by the Soviets' retreat in the face of U.S. power but was powerless to act.

The Cuban missile crisis marked the climax of an acutely antagonistic period in U.S.-Soviet relations. The crisis also marked the closest point that the world had ever come to global nuclear war. It is generally believed that the Soviets' humiliation in Cubaplayed an important part in Khrushchev's fall from power in October 1964 and in the Soviet Union's determination to achieve, at the least, a nuclear parity with the United States.
Was this the best answer?

Answer 4

Fidel Castro was never a capitalist. However he did act as one in order to have the US government assist in his quest for power. With money. He was unsuccessful . He is and always was a communist. President Kennedy refused to let Soviet ships pass a certain point with the threat of war. The Russian back down and Cuba dismantled the missiles pointed towards the US.
