The Soviets decided to pull their nuclear weapons of Cuba after reaching an agreement with the United States in October 27, 1962. According to this agreement, President Kennedy agreed to remove missiles from Turkey and Southern Italy, as long as Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev removed all missiles from Cuba. The agreement was most likely reached due to the fact that the leaders of both countries knew that a war would be costly, difficult and extremely deadly.

Answer:

During the Mexico-Texas conflict, President Houston sent out troops to make certain that all Mexican forces were out of San Antonio. A Texan army led by Colonel William S. Fisher ignored orders to return to Gonzales and attacked the Mexican town of Mier. Although they put up a good fight, the Texan army was outnumbered and captured as prisoners. The prisoners were taken back to Mexico City. They escaped, but many were recaptured only a week later. Santa Anna ordered the execution of every 10th prisoner whose fate was to be chosen by lottery. Every prisoner had to take a bean out of a jar; if he chose a black bean, he would be executed. Santa Anna executed 17 men who drew black beans. The remaining prisoners were taken to Perote prison and later released.

<h3>What are War Crimes?</h3>

This refers to the inhumane actions that a person or soldier, usually fighting in a foreign country metes out on people, such as unprovoked aggression, extra-judicial killings, genocide, etc

Hence, we can see that the presence of war crimes is the main reason why a country would pull out of a war and claims it is immoral as this would have infringed on human rights.
