What was the impact the Cuban Missile Crisis had on US foreign policy?

After the Cuban Missile Crisis, the US learned how it was our own fears that may have caused the USSR to place missiles in Cuba. We had missiles all around Russsia, and that made them think we were going to attack. There were some important factors that we should have learned. First, we can cause our own destruction by casusing fear in others. Secondly, we should have learned not to trust our own Intel. agency. The CIA reported that none of the missiles in Cuba were armed yet. Later, we found that they were armed. Had Kennedy ordered an attack on Cuba, it could have started a nuclear war. Both of these lessions have long been forgotten. As our policy today is one of pure aggression, based on false Intel.. Hope this will help you.- Katherine k

∙ 14y agoIt was the need to protect Capitalism and spread their sphere of influence that started the cold war. They formed North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) pact, a military alliance that aims to defend Europe from Soviet (USSR/Russia) attacks. And then the placing of missiles in Turkey, made USSR feel threatened due to the close proximity. In return, the USSR's president, Khrushchev formed an alliance with Cuba, a communist country, and promised to protect them from USA's invasion. Hence, missiles were placed in Cuba and it led to the Cuban Missile Crisis.
