The Cuban Missile Crisis

The “Alliance for Progress” President John F. Kennedy hoped to improve relations with Latin America to prevent the spread of Communism. He pledged $20 billion to help the economic development through what was called the Alliance for Progress (name of his plan).

Bay of Pigs JFK and the CIA want Fidel Castro, the Communist Dictator of Cuba, to be removed from power. Cuban exiles trained to invade Cuba– with US arms, material and training– and were sent to start an uprising against Castro. The invasion took place on April 17, 1961.

A Total Failure Castro puts an easy end to the Bay of Pigs invasion, defeating the exiles quickly. Kennedy and the US don’t send air support

Blockade of Cuba

The Actual Cuban Missile Crisis The Soviet Union feared another US invasion of Cuba. Castro allows for Nikita Khrushchev to build nuclear missile launch silos in Cuba. Navy blockades Cuba, preventing any further supply from USSR. Kennedy demands removal of weapons. Soviets remove their missiles, and a potential crisis is avoided. US has to promise never to invade Cuba again.

War Avoided For the first time the US was at the brink of nuclear war. Florida is only 90 miles from Cuba, so an attack would have hurt our homeland without any doubt. Krushchev has Soviet Missiles removed from Cuba. “Brinkmanship”
