The world at the Brink!!! Honestly, kinda scary…. Cuban Missile Crisis VS The world at the Brink!!! Honestly, kinda scary….

“We’re eyeball to eyeball, and I think the other fellow just blinked.” Taking chicken too far? “We’re eyeball to eyeball, and I think the other fellow just blinked.” - U.S. Secretary of State, Dean Rusk

Where is this Crisis happening?

So, US bumbles up things in Cuba… Bay of Pigs Invasion (1961) Unsuccessful attempt to overthrow Fidel Castro Why? – Communists! Carried out by armed Cuban exiles Funded by the US Caused problems in Cuban- American relations

Soviets are doing things in Cuba… Soviets want to place missiles in Cuba Why? – US has missiles in Turkey U2 spy planes confirm Soviet plans So what’s gonna happen!!??!?!?!?!

The world at the brink… President Kennedy (JFK)sets up a blockade of Cuba Soviet ships can’t get to Cuba Except one… Last second deal is made USSR agrees to remove missiles from Cuba US agrees to remove missiles from Turkey

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.
