I was just a kid in the 8th grade but I remember it like it was yesterday. The link provided gives a good overview of the crisis from the Kennedy Library.

Kennedy was an amateur at geo/political world affairs, more interested in women than adult real world.

Kruschev on the other hand was an old, hardened, poker player.

The only thing Kennedy had in his favor was the action was only 90 miles away, Kruschev was handicapped being thousands of miles away.

Militarily Kruschev would be a loser, nuclear being his only option. He was not that stupid so he backed down.

Cyni, do you remember how they solved the Cuban Missile Crisis?

They withdrew the Jupiter missiles from Turkey. After this, the Soviets decided not to pursue placing missiles in Cuba. ;)

I was working for the government at the time.

Krushchev needed something in return for Cuban back down, withdrawing the Turkey missiles was it.
