April 17, The Cuban exiles land along beaches at the Bay of Pigs and are immediately met with heavy resistance.

Can anyone guess what this political cartoon is guessing?

1962- Following the Bay of Pigs Invasion, Nikita Khrushchev (Soviet leader) began to place nuclear missiles in Cuba. The United States had already had nuclear missiles in Turkey and Italy, and Kennedy demanded that Khrushchev removed the missiles from Cuba immediately.

October 14, Nuclear missiles are placed in Cuba. October 19, 1962-President Kennedy announced a naval blockade to prevent more weapons from being delivered in Cuba. The blockade worked and Khrushchev removed the missiles from Cuba on October 28, Above: Nikita Khrushchev

Can anyone remember the events that led up to the Vietnam War?

Vietnam used to be a French colony during the age of imperialism, but France lost some of its control during World War II. Ho Chi Minh and his communist party, the Viet Minh, took control of North Vietnam. France announced it’s intention to take back North Vietnam in North Vietnam was being supported by the Soviet Union and China, and France eventually withdrew from South Vietnam in Vietnam remained divided at the 17 th PARALLEL with the North being a communist government under Ho Chi Minh, and the South was a republic that was supported by the United States. Ho Chi Minh continued to try forcibly push communism into South Vietnam.

President John F. Kennedy began to offer military, political, and economic support to South Vietnam to allow it to defend itself from the armies led by Ho Chi Minh in Kennedy helped South Vietnam increase its army to 170,000 troops and managed to send in 1,000 U.S. military advisors. Over the next two years, Kennedy increased military aid as the Viet Cong, a communist organization allied with North Vietnam, rose up in South Vietnam.

President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, He was pronounced dead at 1:00 PM and his vice president, Lyndon B. Johnson, was swiftly sworn into office. Under Lyndon B. Johnson, American involvement greatly increased in Vietnam.
