Question

What effect did the cuban missile crisis have on the united states and soviet union?

Answer 1

The effect brought by the Cuban missile crisis was an agreement in which the soviet union assented to disarm them and the U.S accepted to disarm its missiles in Italy and turkey.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Cuban missile crisis developed after the U.S. tried to invade Cuba and after they deployed missiles in Italy, and Turkey. Then, the Cuban government agreed to the Russian proposition. Then, the Americans discovered and laid a blockade to destroy the Island. However, they established talks and that didn't happen. The U.S. Cuba and the Soviet Union decided to disarm the missiles and the agreement was achieved. It was the moment with the highest tension in the cold war.

Answer 2

I was in a Canadian History Class at the time. Our prof was concerned but he was calm while everyone else was in a great flurry. He did,however, say that Kennedy had ICBMs Khrushchev did not. He turned out to be very accurate in his assessment. Russia could not launch missiles without retaliation, so Khrushchev blinked. He was a pretty tough guy who had survived Leningrad so it was a pretty big blink.
