THE U.S INVOLVEMENT IN CUBA AND DOMINICAN REPUBLIC By: Erik Gagen and Dolres Sharaf

IMPORTANT PEOPLE (DOMINICAN INVOLVEMENT)  U.S  Lyndon B. Johnson(president)  Robert York(General)  D.R  Francisco Caamano  Juan Bosch Winsor B. Johnson

Robert York Lyndon B. Johnson Francisco Caamano Juan Bosch V.S. Wikipediaimages americanwallpapers

WHAT  The United States of America occupied the Dominican Republic inorder to prevent the spread of communist government. Much likeVietnam, but not as recognized. wikipedia

WHEN  Troubles in the Dominican Republic began in 1961, when long-time dictator Rafael Trujillo was assassinated. Trujillo had been a brutal leader, but his strong anticommunist stance helped him retain the support of the United States.  His death led to the rise of a reformist government headed by Juan Bosch, who was elected president in The Dominican military, however, despised Bosch and his liberal policies. Bosch was overthrown in Political chaos gripped the Dominican Republic as various groups, including the increasingly splintered military, struggled for power . By 1965, forces demanding the reinstatement of Bosch began attacks against the military- controlled government. In the United States government, fear spread that "another Cuba" was in the making in the Dominican Republic; in fact, many officials strongly suspected that Cuban leader Troubles in the Dominican Republic began in 1961, when long-time dictator Rafael Trujillo was assassinated.  Trujillo had been a brutal leader, but his strong anticommunist stance helped him retain the support of the United States. His death led to the rise of a reformist government headed by Juan Bosch, who was elected president in The Dominican military, however, despised Bosch and his liberal policies. Bosch was overthrown in  (historychannel, Daniel Hopkins)

WHEN (CONT.)  On April 28, more than 22,000 U.S. troops, supported by forces provided by some of the member states of the Organization of American States (a United Nations-like institution for the Western Hemisphere, dominated by the United States) landed in the Dominican Republic.  Over the next few weeks they brought an end to the fighting and helped install a conservative, non-military government.  Political chaos gripped the Dominican Republic as various groups, including the increasingly splintered military, struggled for power. By 1965, forces demanding the reinstatement of Bosch began attacks against the military-controlled government. In the United States government, fear spread that "another Cuba" was in the making in the Dominican Republic; in fact, many officials strongly suspected that Cuban leader Fidel Castro was behind the violence.  (history channel, Daniel Hopkins)

WHY  In an effort to forestall what he claims will be a "communist dictatorship" in the Dominican Republic, President Lyndon B. Johnson sends more than 22,000 U.S. troops to restore order on the island nation. Johnson's action provoked loud protests in Latin America and skepticism among many in the United States.(history channel, Daniel Hopkins Theendofcommunisumishere

J.F.K Fidel Castro (The End of The Cold War)

WHAT  The U.S and Cuba were at ends with each other because Cuba wasbeginning to store missiles, many believed to be nuclear, for theSoviet Union. Also the U.S and Cuba were constantly spying oneach other. seattletimes

WHERE  All fighting and combat took place in Cuba however the events happened in the U.S and Cuba. wikipedia

WHEN  The tensions between the U.S and Cuba lasted from October 14 th -28, 1962  On October 16th 1962, a U2 spy plane took high level photographs over Cuba and the resulting photographic prints revealed what was obviously a base for missiles.  On October 17th 1962 the CIA reported to the president that the 16 to 32 missiles identified could kill 80 million Americans as they had a range of 2000 miles with a flight time of just 17 minutes. While this was happening USA Intelligence reported that over 20 Russian ships were heading for Cuba with crates on board that obviously contained more missiles. They were not difficult to detect, as they were being carried on deck in full view of US observer planes.  Mediate range missiles were capable of carrying a nuclear payload. (historychannel)

WHEN (CONT.)  On October 25th 1962 more U2 photographs showed that the bases would be fully operational in a few days - at the latest by the end of October.  The threat to USA was very obvious. On October 27th the matter was made worse when a U2 was shot down by a Russian missile and the pilot killed. (historychannel, Daniel Hopkins)

WHY  The Cuban Missile Crisis begins on October 14, 1962, bringing the United States and the Soviet Union to the brink of nuclear conflict. Photographs taken by a high-altitude U-2 spy plane offered incontrovertible evidence that Soviet-made medium-range missiles in Cuba—capable of carrying nuclear warheads—were now stationed 90 miles off the American coastline.  Tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union over Cuba had been steadily increasing since the failed April 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion, in which Cuban refugees, armed and trained by the United States, landed in Cuba, and attempted to overthrow the government of Fidel Castro. Though the invasion did not succeed, Castro was convinced that the United States would try again, and set out to get more military assistance from the Soviet Union. During the next year, the number of Soviet advisors in Cuba rose to more than 20,000. (historychannel, George Barry)

WHY (CONT.)  Rumors began that Russia was also moving missiles and strategic bombers onto the island. Russian leader Nikita Khrushchev may have decided to so dramatically up the stakes in the Cold War for several reasons. He may have believed that the United States was indeed going to invade Cuba and provided the weapons as a deterrent. Facing criticism at home from more hard-line members of the Soviet communist hierarchy, he may have thought a tough stand might win him support. Khrushchev also had always resented that U.S. nuclear missiles were stationed near the Soviet Union (in Turkey, for example), and putting missiles in Cuba might have been his way of redressing the imbalance. Two days after the pictures were taken, after being developed and analyzed by intelligence officers, they were presented to President Kennedy. During the next two weeks, the United States and the Soviet Union would come as close to nuclear war as they ever had, and a fearful world awaited the outcome. (historychannel, George Barry)
