The US used a naval embargo to prevent any missiles or related material from reaching Cuba.

What did Kennedy choose to do about the Cuban missile crisis?
run a blockade or quarantine take out all the missile sites conduct a military invasion
What are ten events of the Cuban Missile Crisis?
President Kennedy admitted to lack of missile gap unlike Eisenhower. He said that the US was way ahead of the Soviets in the developing missiles. This made Khrushchev (The Soviet leader) look bad. And this angers Cuba a lot especially, after our failed attempt with the Bay of Pigs. Castro starts to buddy up with the Soviets a lot more. Khrushchev doesn't want to see the US take Cuba down. So he offers to arm Castro with weapons. The US had the Soviet Union surrounded with missile sites and the Soviets wanted at least one site near the US. If they could get Cuba they would have their "one place". A U2 planes discovered installation sites being built in Cuba by the soviets. Kennedy called together the National Security Council, DOD, etc. to discuss what to do with this. We came up with three options. 1)Invade Cuba-Bay of pigs was a failure. 2) Air Strike- were afraid if we did do that ,t hey would shoot our planes3) Leave it alone. No one was really satisfied with those three option so we decided to Quarantine AKA Blockade Cuba. The Cuban Missile Crisis scared everyone to death; we were on the verge of nuclear war. In 1963 the US and the Soviet Union Signed a nuclear Test Ban Treaty which banned the testing of atomic weapons. A hotline was also set up between Moscow and Washington D.C.
Why did the US name the blockade like that when the soviet ships could not enter Cuba?
Times were tense during the Cuban Missile Crisis to say the least; there were already several instances between U.S. and Soviet forces that could've led to a further escalation. A Naval Blockade is considered an act of war. To avoid that, the Kennedy Administration used the term "Naval Quarantine" (semantics), as the crisis played out also on the world stage in the United Nations. Moderates on both sides were doing everything possible to prevent the crisis from escalating into a full blown nuclear war.

As a result of what war does JFK agree to pull American nuclear missiles out of turkey?
This did not come about because of any "war", but due to the confrontation between the US and the Soviet Union called the CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS. The US agitation over the missiles in Cuba was matched by Soviet agitation over the missiles in Turkey and the Soviets agreed that they would withdraw their weapons from Cuba if the US did similarly in Turkey.

What caused the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962?
One of the causes of the Cuban Missile Crisis was that the USSR was afraid that they have might have gotten hit by a missile first so they secretly hid a missile in Cuba. Another cause would be that and Nikita were afraid to lose Cuba in an invasion from the U.S.A, so they agreed to put missiles on their island because of protection. There were also many tensions with the USSR and the States with the peace program that Russia wanted to start. Then the U.S.A said that they would be tougher on Russia to end the Cold War. The USSR wanted all the power and so did the United States. Only one could have all of the power so the USSR acted first. the reason the misil crisis started was because they were both scared of eachother!!!
