1. Some Resolutions
As a result of the Cuban Missile Crisis, several efforts were made to reduce the risk of future nuclear war:

2. 1. Kennedy and Khrushchev established a “hot line” between the two nations to allow for immediate discussion in the event of a future crisis

3. 2. In 1963, the two countries also signed the first nuclear treaty since the development of the atomic bomb
“The Limited Test Ban Treaty”

4. “The Limited Test Ban Treaty” banned nuclear testing above the ground in an effort to eliminate radioactive fallout and contamination
It did permit underground testing, and scientists did keep making bigger and bigger bombs
But the treaty was “an important first step toward peace, a step toward reason, a step away from war”
The Cuban Missile Crisis is generally considered the closest to nuclear war we have ever come

5. The Berlin Wall would eventually come down in 1989—a key signal of the end of the Cold War
