Cuban Missile Crisis F.A.Q Harris & Tro

From a holistic approach, The Cuban Missile Crisis served as an inhibitor in the context of high tensions throughout the Cold War as it incited new legislation to regulate Nuclear Weapons and foreshadowed the ending of the war.

Cuban Missile Crisis Background ● After seizing power in the Caribbean island nation of Cuba in 1959, leftist revolutionary leader Fidel Castro (1926-) aligned himself with the Soviet Union. Under Castro, Cuba grew dependent on the Soviets for military and economic aid. During this time, the U.S. and the Soviets (and their respective allies) were engaged in the Cold War ( ), an ongoing series of largely political and economic clashes.Fidel CastroCold War

Cuban Missile Crisis - Background Cont.. ● The Cuban Missile Crisis was a 13 day confrontation (1962) between the United States and The Soviet Union over Soviet ballistic missiles deployed in Cuba. ● The event was played out on national television and was the closest the two world powers came to escalating into full out war.

Cuban Missile Crisis ● Soviet leader, Nikita Kruschchev agreed to Cuba’s request to place nuclear missiles in Cuba for safety (prevention of further harassment). ● The United States at the time was facing elections, however a U2 spy plane gathered hard evidence capturing photographs of missile facilities in Cuba. With fear of missile attack only 90 miles away from Florida, the United States placed a military blockade announcing prevention of missiles into the country and the removal of all placed missiles. ● Kennedy and ExCom determined that the presence of Soviet missiles in Cuba was unacceptable. ● Kennedy ultimately decided on a more measured approach. First, he would employ the U.S. Navy to establish a blockade, or quarantine, of the island to prevent the Soviets from delivering additional missiles and military equipment. Second, he would deliver an ultimatum that the existing missiles be removed.

United States ● The challenge facing them was to orchestrate their removal without initiating a wider conflict–and possibly a nuclear war.

Cuba

U.S.S.R. ● The Soviets had long felt uneasy about the number of nuclear weapons that were targeted at them from sites in Western Europe and Turkey, and they saw the deployment of missiles in Cuba as a way to level the playing field. Another key factor in the Soviet missile scheme was the hostile relationship between the U.S. and Cuba. The Kennedy administration had already launched one attack on the island–the failed Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961–and Castro and Khrushchev saw the missiles as a means of deterring further U.S. aggression.
