J JFK AND THE COLD WAR

JFK president video: http://www. youtube. com/watch CRISIS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zObCklM5LPw Five options:

JKF GUARANTEES TO PUT A MAN ON THE MOON!

Fidel Castro creates a communist government in Cuba, 90 miles from Florida

Bay of Pigs disaster Kennedy learns of plan to invade Cuba 9 days after elected…. Okays it… Disaster

October 1962- Cuban missile crisis

5 options: Do nothing: ignore the missiles in Cuba Open direct negotiations with Krushchev asking that the missiles be withdrawn (is this “negotiable”? Would it be giving in to, or rewarding, the action?) Order a blockade of Cuba until the missiles are removed (RFK) Send a warning to Castro and Kruschev, and if the dismantling of the missile sites is not underway within 24 hours, order an air strike against the sites (CIA director) *** “brinksmanship” Order an air strike against the missile sites without any warning (Taylor- chairman, joint chief of staff)

The result JFK: blockade Nukes gone… we will leave Cuba alone…. (we also agree to remove nukes from Greece and Turkey)

JFK: PEACE CORPS CREATED VOLUNTEERS TO DEVELOPING NATIONS OF ASIA, AFRICA, LATIN AMERICA AGRICULTURAL ADVISORS, TEACHERS…
