None of those are actually true. The Soviet Union didn't have any missiles in Turkey, it was actually the U.S. that had ICBMs near the Caucuses. They would later be dismantled because of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Khrushchev certainly didn't agree to allow American forces to occupy Cuba and Remove Castro. The U.S. didn't back down, President Kennedy stood his ground and eventually Khrushchev removed the missile sites from Cuba. Lastly, Kennedy and Khrushchev didn't divide the island of Cuba between the U.S. and the USSR. What actually happened <span>was that Khrushchev agreed to remove Russian missiles from Cuba in exchange for a promise from the United States to respect Cuba’s territorial sovereignty</span>
