The Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba under US president Kennedy attempted to overthrow Castro.
President Kennedy demanded that the Soviet Union remove the missile base from Cuba. He also ordered a US air and naval blockade of Cuba to prevent Soviet arms shipments from reaching Cuba. He prepared to invade Cuba in case Khrushchev did not withdraw his missiles. He made an agreement with Khrushchev at the last minute: Khrushchev agreed to remove the missiles from Cuba, ordered his ships to turn back to Soviet Union; Kennedy promised not to put missiles in Turkey, near the Soviet border. After this agreement Kennedy lifted the blockade and promised not to invade Cuba.
The president of the United States during the Cuban Missile Crisis was John F. Kennedy. The crisis occurred in October 1962 when the Soviet Union secretly stationed nuclear missiles in Cuba, leading to a tense 13-day standoff between the U.S. and the Soviets. Kennedy responded by implementing a naval blockade and demanding the removal of the missiles, ultimately leading to a resolution that avoided military conflict.
