The resolution to the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962 involved intense negotiations between the United States and the Soviet Union, averting a potential nuclear conflict. The crisis emerged when the U.S. discovered Soviet nuclear missiles deployed in Cuba, leading to a 13-day standoff. Ultimately, President John F. Kennedy and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev reached an agreement: the U.S. would promise not to invade Cuba and would secretly remove its missiles from Turkey, while the Soviets would dismantle their missiles in Cuba. This resolution marked a critical moment in Cold War diplomacy, highlighting the importance of communication and negotiation in international relations to avoid catastrophic outcomes.
