JFK .
And to Booman . . . . . . or any other misinformed individual . . . . What you need to research is the fact that the missiles in Turkey were already scheduled for dismantling . Kennedy knew that but the Russians didn't . We eventually replaced those missiles with other which are far more effective . The Russians got NOTHING . We only made them 'believe' they did in order to allow them to save face . That's real history . That's truth .

That was JFK, but it was an under the counter deal that got the job done, not the blockade or the posturing. Kennedy secretly agreed to remove the Pershing missiles from Turkey if the Russians took theirs out of Cuba. They agreed and 6 months after the missiles left Cuba, the Pershings, very quietly, left Turkey. Lucee, the thumbs down is because your answer is wrong. The deal for the Pershings in Turkey is what got them to remove them, not Kennedy standing his ground and using the blockade. They were at an impasse until that point and on the brink of war. And to Earnest, you are correct sir, but the Russians as you pointed out, did not know that. But the context is what made them remove their missiles,. The deal to remove the afore mentioned, soon to be replaced missiles, was what caused the Russians to to agree to remove the missiles from Cuba. Regardless of their awareness of our plans, the point is still valid in the context of the question/ The posturing and the blockade are not what broke the impass. And that's the truth, not misinformation.

John Kennedy. We came closer to a nuclear war than at any time in our history.
It wasn't a persuasion -- President Kennedy ordered the Navy to blockade Cuba, and a blockade is an act of war.

John F. Kennedy, and he didn't persuade, he stood his ground and told them to do it. After a naval blockade, they believed him and dismantled them.
And what's with all the tacky "thumbs down" crap on these answers? All of them are correct. Do we have some troll creature hiding away? That's a really sneaky thing to do. The question was good and deserves honest answers, which it got.
