The John F. Kennedy administration was partly responsible for the crisis because it misled the public on facts of the crisis. The president told the public that the country had fewer missiles than its counterpart, the Soviet Union. However, the truth was that America had nine times as many nuclear weapons as the Soviet Union. Another new insight is that the Cuban missile crisis was a political problem for Kennedy and not a military problem as earlier indicated. This is because the U.S. had missiles in Turkey that is a close neighbor of the Soviet Union. Therefore, there was no reason for the U.S. to cause a crisis for something they too had done. The ending of the crisis was kept secret and resulted in both countries withdrawing both the Jupiter missiles in Turkey and the Cuban missiles.
