"We are going to have to face the fact that, if we do invade, by the time we get to these sites, after a very bloody fight, they will be pointed at us. And we must further accept the possibility that when military hostilities first begin, those missiles will be fired.” -President Robert F. Kennedy This quote is informing US citizens that there is a good possibility of another war starting. Many Americans felt very unprotected and not safe to be in America at that time.

How it Ended The U.S. and the Soviet Union came to an agreement to remove all missiles from Cuba. In the agreement it stated that if Kennedy (President of U.S.) were to remove its naval blockade around Cuba and if it removes its missile bases in Turkey, Khrushchev (leader of Soviet Union) would remove his missile bases from Cuba.

How It Ended The Soviet Submarines that patrolled Cuba were loaded with nuclear-tipped torpedoes and the missiles were also short to medium range nuclear missiles. The Cuban Missile crisis was not a nuclear war, but it was the closest the world has ever come to one.
