What was the outcome of the Cuban Missile Crisis?

Fidel Castro sent the Soviet Union away and established his own nuclear arsenal.

The Soviets backed down and removed the missiles, and the United States agreed to remove its missiles from Turkey.

Nikita Khrushchev demanded that Castro establish missile bases, but Castro refused.

The United States backed down, allowed the missiles, and negotiated a treaty with Cuba.
