Cuban Missile Crises US History 11 Spring 2012

Bay of Pigs Kennedy was presented with a plan when he became President of the United States Goal was to stop communism in Cuba CIA guaranteed it would be an “easy” win

The Bay of Pigs An unsuccessful attack on Cuba Designed to overthrow the communist government of Fidel Castro April 17th ,1961 Cuban refugees trained by U.S. in Guatemala to fight Fidel CIA advised Kennedy to attack Video

The Arms Race By 1962 the United States was ahead United States Technology was capable of launching nuclear weapons against Soviet Union (From England, France or Turkey) Soviet Union Only had technology to launch nuclear weapons to Europe

Fidel Castro Leader of Cuba Communist government Allied with the Soviet Union Unfriendly with the United States due to the Bay of Pigs

Soviet Missiles in Cuba Nikita Khrushchev Soviet Premier Suggests intermediate range missiles in Cuba to advance the Soviet Union in the Arms Race Fidel Castro agrees Sees suggestion as a way to defend Cuba if the US were to try to attack again Summer of 1962 Soviet Union secretly built missile instillations in Cuba

United States Reaction Kennedy is informed about the possibility of Soviet missiles in Cuba – Aug. 1962 Intelligence is pretty sure, but Kennedy wants PROOF!

US Reaction (cont.) October 14th 1962 US U-2 reconnaissance flight confirms presence of Soviet missiles in Cuba

Kennedy & EX-COMM EX-COMM (short for Expert Committee) A group of Kennedy’s 12 most trusted advisors Oct 16th - Discuss possible diplomatic & military courses of action Meetings kept secrete for 7 days The U.S. has time to make decision

US Course of Action Oct 22nd – Kennedy announces presence of Soviet missile in Cuba to the American public Imposes a Naval quarantine around Cuba Demands Soviet Union remove all missiles from Cuba

Soviet Reaction Oct 26th 1962 Khrushchev sends letter to Kennedy Purposed removal of missiles from Cuba if United States promised not to attack Cuba and remove missiles from Turkey This would be done secretly!!!

Climax of the Crisis October 27th 1962 U-2 Shot down over Cuba Khrushchev sends second letter Demands removal of US missiles from Turkey publicly, and public promise never to attack Cuba.

US Reaction US has a problem: Wants Soviet missiles out of Cuba Does not want the world to think the United States was weak Attorney General Robert Kennedy suggests ignoring the 2nd letter & agreeing to the 1st letter

Crisis Averted Oct 28th 1962 Khrushchev announces that the Soviet Union will remove the missiles if the US would not attack Cuba

End Result United States is now safe Soviet Union is now safe Cold War thaws – Agreement between Kennedy and Khrushchev World almost completely destroyed Embargo of Cuba
