To what extent was peaceful coexistence achieved? Coexistence or conflict 1960-1962?

1960 Conflict USSR Military alliance with Cuba Castro and Khrushchev alliance in the Western Hemisphere was immediately challenged by the United States it suggested a great leap of expansionism westwards. This alliance later on led to the Bay of Pigs incident and the Cuban missile crisis U2 plane shot down in Russian airspace As the policy of open skies was rejected back in 1955 by the USSR it led to rapid increased conflict US rejected responsibility which enraged the USSR Peaceful coexistence The Paris Summit Was an example of diplomacy However- it did not succeed

1961 MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) Conflict Bay of Pigs CIA planned to train Cuban exiles in order to take Cuba back Demonstrated US opposition to Soviet military alliance with Castro Vienna Summit Khrushchev threatened the US with military It was a failure for Kennedy as it only increased hostility between spheres Berlin Wall Constructed to save East Germany from economic collapse Suggests peaceful coexistence failed due to Germany being visibly divided MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) Unlimited budget of US overwhelmed Soviets Soviets had enough nuclear arms to destroy the US once Suggests they both were capable to wipe one another out Peaceful coexistence The Vienna Summit Was an example of attempted diplomacy and conciliation after the Bay of Pigs But it didn’t succeed

1962 Conflict Cuba Cuban missile crisis as a whole U2 surveillance Kennedy concerned over Cuba 24 missile pods located in Cuba Treated as a threat to the US Kennedy’s options General Taylor (Chairman of the joint chief of staff) recommended a surgical airstrike on Cuba. Kennedy's plan was to quarantine Cuba and prevent delivery of missiles Cuban missile crisis as a whole The most extreme point of conflict between spheres Threatened US national security Showed power and influence of communism Displayed signs of a potential nuclear war Peaceful coexistence The end of the Cuban Missile Crisis Krushchev insisted missiles were for defense Krushchev indicated by letter 26th October that the missiles would be withdrawn Results in the Presidential Hotline Results in the Nuclear Test ban treaty

Overall ? ? ? ? Overall, we feel that by 1961 Khrushchev had consolidated his position as a leader of the Soviet regime and once this stability in his role had been established, he was able to pressurise America, especially in 1962 with the Cuban Missile crisis. The U2 spy planes made peaceful coexistence difficult between the superpowers as this was a breach of Soviet National security. We feel that within the period as a whole, peaceful coexistence was undermined by growing tensions in areas such as Germany and Cuba. There are some continued attempts at peaceful coexistence which exists due to the presidential hotline and by the period 1962 were not at war with one another but as a whole there was increased tensions within the period.
