19. The Cuban Missile Crisis
The Cold War Gets HotHot”

20. Causes US had nuclear missiles in Turkey aimed at the SU
Turkey, like other countries in NATO alliance, worried about the willingness of the U.S. to use nuclear weapons against the S.U., should Moscow decide to invade Western Europe
American nuclear weapons (first deployed in Turkey in 1959) were considered to be a symbol of the American commitment to Turkish defense.
Soooo, naturally Khrushchev wanted missiles aimed at the U.S.

27. Clip from Thirteen Days 33:00 – 48:00

28. President Kennedy’s Options
Order an air strike to try and destroy the missile sites, anti-aircraft units, and the Soviet-Cuban military power.
Order an invasion of Cuba to try and destroy the missiles and overthrow Fidel Castro’s communist government.
Order a naval blockade to prevent Soviet arms shipments to Cuba, and demand that the USSR remove all their military units or face a nuclear attack from the United States.

30. Course July 1962 - SU put nuclear missiles in Cuba aimed at the US
Oct US setup a blockade (“quarantine”) of Cuba to prevent more missiles
SU challenged the blockade, but pulled back at the last second moment, avoiding nuclear war
