Our purpose has been and is to help Cuba, and no one can challenge the humanity of our motives aimed at allowing Cuba to live peacefully and develop as its people desire. You say that that Cuba worries you because it lies at a distance of ninety miles across the sea from the shores of the United States. However, Turkey lies next to us…Do you believe that you have the right to demand security for your country and the removal of such weapons that you qualify as offensive, while not recognizing this right for us? Khru shchev to Kennedy, October 26th 1961 I make this proposal: We agree to remove those weapons from Cuba which you regard as offensive weapons. We agree to do this and to state this commitment in the United Nations. Your representatives will make a statement to effect that the United States, on its part, bearing in mind the anxiety and concern of the Soviet state, will evacuate its analogous weapons from Turkey. Let us reach an understanding on what time you and we need to put this into effect. Khrushchev to Kennedy, October 26th 1961 I have read your letter of October 26th with great care and welcome the statement of your desire to seek a prompt solution to the problem…as I read your letter, the key elements of your proposals - which seem generally acceptable as I understand them - are as follows: 1. You would agree to remove these weapons systems from Cuba under appropriate United Nations observation and supervision; and undertake, with suitable safeguards, to halt the further introduction of such weapons systems in to Cuba. 2. We on our part, would agree… (a) to remove promptly the quarantine measures now in effect and (b) to give assurances against an invasion of Cuba. Reply to Chairman Khrushchev's first letter of October 26
Consequences ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],USSR : • Internationally : Khrushchev was credited with being diplomatic and reasonable; • Domestically : Khrushchev was widely seen to have backed down completely (Kennedy’s agreement to remove missiles from Turkey was kept secret). • He was overthrown in 1964 . and died in 1971 . USA : • Short term : Kennedy’s reputation was greatly enhanced by his handling of the crisis. • Long term : Historians have criticised him for (a) Creating the crisis by appearing both aggressive and yet weak in the Bay of Pigs disaster; (b) Not calling Khrushchev’s bluff by mounting a full-scale invasion of Cuba and overthrowing Castro CHINA: Chairman Mao was unimpressed with Khrushchev’s handling of the crisis and pursued a more independent course

You say that that Cuba worries you because it lies at a distance of ninety miles across the sea from the shores of the United States. However, Turkey lies next to us…Do you believe that you have the right to demand security for your country and the removal of such weapons that you qualify as offensive, while not recognizing this right for us? Khru shchev to Kennedy, October 26th 1961 I make this proposal: We agree to remove those weapons from Cuba which you regard as offensive weapons. We agree to do this and to state this commitment in the United Nations. Your representatives will make a statement to effect that the United States, on its part, bearing in mind the anxiety and concern of the Soviet state, will evacuate its analogous weapons from Turkey. Let us reach an understanding on what time you and we need to put this into effect. Khrushchev to Kennedy, October 26th 1961 I have read your letter of October 26th with great care and welcome the statement of your desire to seek a prompt solution to the problem…as I read your letter, the key elements of your proposals - which seem generally acceptable as I understand them - are as follows: 1. You would agree to remove these weapons systems from Cuba under appropriate United Nations observation and supervision; and undertake, with suitable safeguards, to halt the further introduction of such weapons systems in to Cuba. 2. We on our part, would agree… (a) to remove promptly the quarantine measures now in effect and (b) to give assurances against an invasion of Cuba. Reply to Chairman Khrushchev's first letter of October 26
