oct 27, 1962 - President Kennedy agrees to not invade Cuba

Description:

After Khrushchev says that he will remove the missiles from Cuba if Kennedy promises not to invade Cuba, Kennedy agrees to the proposal. He also secretly agrees to remove U.S. missiles from Turkey. The world goes to bed that night waiting to see if Khrushchev will accept the arrangement and bring the crisis to an end.

This was a success for Cuba because the US's threat was removed which meant that nothing was at risk for them any longer.
