Answer 1

The Cuban Missile Crisis ended with the Soviets withdrawing their missiles from Cuba in exchange for a U.S. promise not to invade Cuba and the secret removal of U.S. missiles in Turkey.

Step-by-step explanation:

The resolution to the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 resulted from a critical and tense negotiation between the United States and the Soviet Union. The outcome was that Soviet Premier Khrushchev agreed to remove all nuclear missiles from Cuba. In return, President John F. Kennedy assured that the United States would not invade Cuba and would also secretly remove American nuclear missiles from Turkey that were aimed at the Soviet Union. This agreement successfully averted a potential nuclear conflict between the superpowers.
