The Cuban Missle Crisis began on October 15, 1962 when reconnaissnace photographs revealed Soviet missiles under construction in Cuba. When President John F. Kennedy was informed of this the next day, he organized the EX-COMM which was a group of his twelve most important advisors to handle the crisis.
Kennedy then proclaimed that any nuclear missile launched from Cuba would be regarded as an attack on the United States by the Soviet Union and demanded that the Soviets remove all of their offensive weapons from Cuba.
As tension began to build Kennedy ordered low-level reconnaissance missions once every two hours.
Kennedy did many things to prevent this crisi on sides.
On October 28, the air was finally clear when Khrushchev announced that he would dismantle the installations and return the missiles to the Soviet Union, expressing his trust that the United States would not invade Cuba.
Other agreements were made to bring justice to this final conclusion.
