The Cuban Missile Crisis was resolved as Khrushchev sent JFK two letters addressing the situation and negotiating details over the future of the missiles and of Cuba. Cuba was to remain independent and it would not hold Soviet missiles, however neither the USA or the USSR could directly invade Cuba again. The USA would have to remove short-range missiles from Turkey, however this was not to be exposed and would follow after the Crisis had been amended. a hotline was set up between the White House and the Kremlin and helped improve the relationship between the USA and USSR.
