Okay so, the Cuban Missile Crisis was resolved peacefully but the tension that arose from the crisis did not dissipate and actually Russia has said recently that they are more than well prepared to have another Cuban Missile Crisis, only this time they said that it would not end peacefully should they decide to go and actually do it. Basically, a consequence of the Cuban Missile Crisis was the fact that it brought the world to the brink of a nuclear war. Which for clarification, would have meant global devastation. Hope this helps with whatever you need it for.
