Majo Major Consequences Of The Cuban Missile Crisis

Cuban Missile crisis is also known as the Caribbean crisis, which was the thirteen days confrontation among the Soviet Union and the United States regarding the deployment of American ballistic missile in Turkey and Italy with the subsequent deployment of the Soviet ballistic missile in Cuba. This conflict result as the beginning of the Cold War to grow into the full-scale nuclear war. In Cuban Missile crisis, the Soviets had begun to build facilities to deploy medium-range and intermediate-range missiles with nuclear capability on the island of Cuba, just 90 miles off the United States. The government of Washington, with President John F. Kennedy at its head, was not willing to tolerate such a threat so close to home. The tense negotiations to achieve the dismantling of the missiles lasted from October 16 to October 28, 1962. In less than two weeks the world approached a huge real possibility of a nuclear confrontation.
Major consequences of the missile crisis include that the Soviets publicly acknowledge that they remove all offensive weapons in Cuba and agree to submit to UN control to verify that they keep their word.
Also publicly, the United States promises that they will not invade Cuba in the future (Allison, 1969). Secretly, it also agrees to remove missiles with nuclear warheads from Italy and Turkey. The missile crisis is known in Cuba as the October crisis and in Russia as the Caribbean crisis. One of the consequences was the creation of a line of direct communication between the White House and the Kremlin. Some historians point out that Khrushchev's real intention in deploying the missiles in Cuba was to control West Berlin. The missiles deployed in Cuba would be used in this context as a sufficient reason for the Western powers (The USA, UK, and France) to allow him to achieve his
plan. Both of USA and USSR has different ideologies and desires to reflect the world. Majority of the Asian was communists under the indirect Russian leadership, while the North America and West Europe were democratic aside from the Cuban Island. This result as the initialization of the cold war between the democracy and communism. The ideology and believed of the communism is based on the fact that there should be a proper structure within the country and have restricted freedom, which makes every average person be equal. But U.S. was against of it and is strongly emphasis on having the system that preached freedom. The first states amendment was base on the right to religion, the right of speech and independence (Guttieri et al., 1995). In contrast, the United States ideology based on the democracy in which all of the citizens have the right to independently live their lives and can share their ideology on how their country can run effectively. Therefore, based on the ideology difference, I believed both USSR and USA has totally opposite believes, which makes them to closely put their missiles towards each other that even they were crossed boundaries of each other The missile crisis of Cuban was the closest encounter which the world ever had as a global destruction and nuclear war. The North Korean Ambition is to develop and test the hydrogen weapon for external safety and security of others. Currently, North Korea strongly intended towards developing the nuclear warheads, which can be launched underwater, which is considered to be quite advanced in its nuclear arsenal. The belief of United States as its opponent exhibit that this will increase the safety threats for other neighboring countries, further it will increase the race of nuclear weapon within the other neighboring countries. As recently North Korea tested the underwater missile system which can be fired from submarines that are quite difficult to detect and intercept (Wit et al., 2004). Further, North Korea intended towards development and deployment of missile defense shield system, which not only have huge cost but has the ability to reduce all of the missiles attacks which are launched from submarines.
