Cuban Misslie Crisis.
We will be watching a movie called 13 Days, about the cuban missile crisis.
Presentation #10. The Cuban Missile Crisis.
They didnt have missiles that could reach us, so they put some in cuba. We intercepted a ship- thats how we knew. we found the missiles and put a naval blockade around cuba to prevent more weapons from being put there. we also put some missiles over in turkey.
The US and Soviets made a deal in which the soviets wold dismantle and remove the missile sites; the us agreed to remove missiles from turkey. This did not end the dealio, because russia continued to build up their missile supplies. when the deal was struck, we were like hours away from invading cuba.
At this point, Akita Khrushchev was in charge of russia.
