oct 28, 1962 - Khrushchev agrees to remove the missiles
Description:
Khrushchev gives a speech on Radio Moscow and says that he has agreed to Kennedy's arrangement. The missiles will be removed, Cuba will not be invaded, and the crisis comes to an end.
This was an advantage to the US because it was like Cuba was in some way surrendering and the US managed to stop the conflict from starting which was their aim from the beginning.
