what were the outcomes from the cuba missil crisis?

The US learned that their actions could cause wrong interpretations by the Soviets, example: \n\nUS destroyers were dropping signaling depth charges on a Soviet submarine near the quarantine line, intending to force it to surface. Unbeknownst to the US Navy, it was carrying a nuclear-tipped torpedo. The captain lost his temper.  The oxygen supply dropped in the sub and as temperatures rose to 120 degrees, some sailors fainted.\nVadim Pavlovich Orlov, an intelligence officer said the bombardment was like "sitting in a metal barrel, which somebody is constantly blasting with a sledgehammer.... But we were still holding on, trying to escape. We were suffering like this for about four hours."\n\nThe sub's commander, Valentin Savitsky, who could not communicate with the Soviet general staff, thought a nuclear war may have started up above. He ordered an officer to assemble the nuclear-tipped torpedo and prepare it to be fired.\n\nBut Second Captain Vasili Alexandrovich Arkhipov told Savitsky that the conditions for firing the torpedo, a rupture of the hull, had not occurred. Savitsky reversed his order and the submarine surfaced.  Nuclear war was averted thanks to the actions of a subordinate officer.\n\nThe outcome of this event, after it became known on the American military on how close they came to nuclear war was to change its policies regarding military confrontations, ie from now on they would take into account the possibility that the Soviets might interpret their actions as a cause for a nuclear response.

The great depression seemed to hit the American people a lot harder then the cuban missile crisis. American people were forced to live in shanty towns which they named 'Hoovervilles' after the president...The riff with Cuba though has still has not been sorted out completed with the US...

John F Kennedy.  This was a pretty tense moment in our history.  I remember my folks being real worried and sitting in front of the TV almost non-stop watching news bulletins during the time.  I was real young so I didn't know what was going on.  JFK told Kruschev that if the Soviet missiles weren't removed from Cuba their presence in Cuba would be considered an act of war on the United States by the Soviet Union.  Scary stuff.\n\nA good book to read on the Cuban Missile Crisis is 'Thirteen Days' by Robert F Kennedy.

The Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. I lived through it and it was the most helpless I ever felt in my life. Some of us expected a nuclear war between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. and there wasn't a thing I could do about it. Read more...

More than anything else, I think it started out of embarassment. When Fidel Castro came out of nowhere to lead his people against a very corrupt regieme led by Bautista, it was like he was a Latino John Kennedy. We welcomed him here in the US. The problem was, of course, that much of the corruption was tied up with the American Mafia and gambling cartels. They did not take very well to being kicked out of Cuba. \n\nThen there was Fidel's Socialist leanings. He was a man of the people, right? He and Che Gueverra saw themselves as liberators. The revolution would not be confined to just Cuba but might well be exported to all the corrupt North American dominated regimes. The US could not stomach that. Trade started getting "difficult."\n\nFidel appealed to a nation very interested in establishing a Western Hemisphere base of influence, the Soviet Union. This was the era of a very hot "Cold War" with Nikita Khruchov taking off his shoe and banging it on the desk in the UN threatening the US with "We will bury you!" The Soviet Union even went so far as to send guided missiles to Cuba. John Kennedy was President at the time. It seemed as though the US and the Soviet Union were going to nuclear war over Cuba. The Soviets withdrew their missiles.\n\nFidel stayed on. The US took in Cubano refugees. Some of them launched attempts to topple Fidel's government. The CIA may have even tried to assassinate him.  There were rumors that Cuba was behind the JFK assassination plot.\n\nSo, Cuba has remained only 80 miles off the Florida shores. And the US still has a base there where the prisoners from the latest war are kept. Strange, huh? Yet, we still do not trade with them.

I'm no expert, but most of the Cuban people seem to like American culture enough to push consensus to accept Democracy. There may be figures in the military that want to take the reigns like Castro did, so that may be a potential source of conflict. But if the US really wants to impose it's will, they can really pressure a new guy in different, more direct ways. Especially since Russia doesn't have their back anymore.

Its hard to tell. Unless a successor is announced then we can only look at history as a guide to what might happen.\n\ntraditionally, after a totalitarian regime ends, it turns first to authoritarian, and then, hopefully democratic. Considering how long Cuba has been under authoritarian control I would say that there will probbly be political chaos once the Fidels are gone. There doesn't exist in Cuba any means of establishing a democracy straight away, as in a democratic legal system, courts, police, governmental bodies etc. So, considering that the people aren't used to governing themselves, and have no experience, it would be fairly safe to say that there will probably be a lot of turmoil eg. Ireland, France, after republics were established\n\nHowever, the reality is more likely that foreign influence will lead to democracy and, unfortunately capitalism, being instituted in Cuba fairly quickly. Money and investment will be pumped into any democratic or socialist party that exists and will probably win any election that is held and so Cuba will become so caught up in western webs that in a few years time it won't be any different than any other western state in the world!

Why does everything ....have to benefit AMERICA? Shouldn't we be looking at "what's good or better for the Cuban people" FIRST. Aren't THEY the ones - first on the list? Isn't the main reason America lost Cuba,- because they were looking after their own interests, and lineing their own pockets with profits from tourism, casinos, gambling and huge sugar production profits.......WHILE THE PEOPLE SLOWLY STARVED IN POVERTY. Haven't we learned anything from the past? It's time to STOP this  greedy - "WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME ATTITUDE." Isn't this the same reason America broke away from Britain? Britain was taking all the resources and huge profits back to Britain and leaving  Americans with taxes and very little to pay for them with?

Nobody knows the future...\nI can only hope that things will get better for the Cubians after Fidel passes on.

depends on you point view.Kennedy did not send the U.S. military to support Cuban Rebels. They were trained by the U.S.and after their landing in Cuba we were going to help but did not. it was a total disaster. Historian say that this defeat made way for the "Cuban Missile Crisis's".
