The Soviets had recently just iunstalled nuclear missiles of the Coast of America. This thirteen day story was a deadly and scary. JFK authorized a naval blockade of Cuba. The Crissis was abated when Gorbachev called the boats back. JFK agreed to remove all missiles from Turkey as well. This marked America's first victory against the Soviet's.
