Bringing the U.S. to the brink of war with the Soviet Union in 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis Bringing the U.S. to the brink of war with the Soviet Union in 1962

Cuban Missile Crisis As the U.S. built more nuclear weapons they ignored what was going on in Cuba In 1959 Fidel Castro led a Communist revolution and became the new dictator of Cuba

Cuban Missile Crisis

Cuban Missile Crisis Fidel Castro, like most Eastern European leaders, joins an alliance with the Soviet Union (Warsaw Pact) In the 1950s, Communism spreads into Cuba, China, and Asia as America fails to contain it

Cuban Missile Crisis This results in a “Domino Theory” If one nation in the world fell to Communism, the other nations would fall in a row like dominoes

Cuban Missile Crisis

Cuban Missile Crisis President Kennedy despises Castro and wants to end Communism in Cuba and get it out of the Western Hemisphere An opportunity presents itself in 1961 Bay of Pigs Invasion: Kennedy gives U.S. weapons to Cuban rebels to overthrow Castro and bring back Democracy. This was a major failure!

Cuban Missile Crisis

Cuban Missile Crisis Naturally upset, and fearful of another possible U.S. invasion, Castro agrees to place Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba pointed at the U.S. These missiles could hit every U.S. city except Seattle How does the U.S. respond without starting a war?

Cuban Missile Crisis Naval Blockade!! U.S. warships surround Cuba forbidding Soviet ships to enter and bring in any more missiles Closest the U.S. got to a nuclear war with the Soviet Union

Cuban Missile Crisis Soviets back down! All missiles were removed from Cuba, but Communism remains only 90 miles south of us U.S. shows its might and regains some pride from the Bay of Pigs invasion attempt
