Cuban Missile Crisis VS By Mr. Stephen Smith May 27, 2015

Where is this Crisis happening?

What happens before? Bay of Pigs Invasion (1961) Unsuccessful attempt to overthrow Fidel Castro Carried out by armed Cuban exiles Funded by the US Caused deterioration in Cuban- American relations

Beginnings of the Crisis May, 1962: Khrushchev makes veiled references to a plot September: JFK and Congress warns USSR that US will deal harshly with any threats to national security October 14: U2 recon. flight over Cuba spots sites installing nuclear missiles

The Crisis in Full Effect October 22: Kennedy tells nation his plan for blockade and quarantine October 24: Naval quarantine begins and successfully changes course of many Soviet ships October 25: One Soviet ship challenges naval quarantine; Kennedy lets it pass

Aftermath October 26: Soviets raise possibility for a deal: if we withdraw missiles will America promise not to invade Cuba? October 27: Soviets demand that Americans also withdraw missiles from Turkey Kennedy tells Khrushchev that he will accept the proposal Kennedy tells his brother to tell the Soviet Ambassador that though the Turkey missiles would not be part of the bargain, they would be removed in time October 28: USSR agrees to withdraw missiles

“We’re eyeball to eyeball, and I think the other fellow just blinked.” Primary Sources “We’re eyeball to eyeball, and I think the other fellow just blinked.” - U.S. Secretary of State, Dean Rusk

Legacy World was on the brink of nuclear war Whole world sighs in relief – no one wanted this to happen Both sides wanted to compromise Closest point in history that a nuclear war could have actually happened.

Conclusion – What I learned I learned that this was quite a dramatic event The world was very close to nuclear war I did not realize that the U.S. had nuclear weapons in Turkey Soviet Union was merely attempting to have the same deterrent in Cuba. I became interested in this topic because of my Dad. He lived through the time period and routinely spoke about drills and events during the 1960’s.
