Nuclear war was a real possibility.
B
The Soviet Union would use force to defend Cuba.

The United States would stand up to Soviet influence in the Americas.

Explanation

The crisis showed that a confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union could bring the world close to nuclear war, so A is correct. It also showed that the United States would resist Soviet military influence in the Americas, making D correct. The Soviet Union ultimately removed its missiles rather than use force to defend Cuba, and Cuba itself opposed the settlement, so B and C are not supported.
