 Khrushchev proposes permanently dividing Berlin (E/W) Wanted to cut off flow of E Germans to west  JFK fearful of intentions – conquer Europe? Kennedy gets $3billion to build defense  In response, Soviets begin building Berlin Wall – Aug 1961

 After Bay of Pigs, Soviets pledge support for Cuba  Oct 16, 1962 – US spy planes photograph Soviet missile bases being built in Cuba  Proximity makes it a major threat

 Both sides prepared to use nuclear weapons  JFK faces extremely tough situation/decision

 Oct 22 – Kennedy speaks on national TV Warned public & told Soviets to remove weapons  Oct 24 – JFK orders “quarantine” (not “blockade”) Prevent more Soviet missiles from reaching Cuba

 Oct 25 – Soviet ships approached line Called back at last moment by Khrushchev  Oct 26 – Khrushchev sends letter saying will remove missiles if US ends quarantine and stays out of Cuba ???
