What was a debate during the Cuban missile crisis?
Asked by Wiki User
One of the main debates during the Cuban missile crisis was whether the United States should launch a military invasion of Cuba to remove the Soviet missiles. This option, advocated by some within the U.S. government, carried the risk of escalating the conflict into a full-scale nuclear war. Ultimately, President Kennedy chose a blockade of Cuba as a less aggressive response, leading to a diplomatic resolution with the Soviet Union.

What was the Bay of Pigs invasion?
Asked by Wiki User
The Bay of Pigs was the invasion of Cuba in April, 1961 by anti-Castro forces trained in the US. The purpose of the invasion was to overthrow Castro. It was a total failure because it was meant to be a surprise attack but Cuba became aware of it and Cuban forces were there waiting when the forces landed.
The CIA had helped plan the invasion but the inclusion of US air power was called off while the plan was underway, resulting in the defeat of the invading forces. Some critics blamed President Kennedy for its failure, as it was planned during the Eisenhower presidency with an eye to avoiding direct US military involvement. This would later occur anyway during the Cuban Missile crisis of October, 1962.
The bay of pigs was an unsuccessful invasion on Cuba by Cuban exiles, which was supported by the US government.
When did the colonist gain independence?
Asked by Wiki User
A very Touchy question because many believe what they were told in school about Boston and other popular places :
Despite the "Historical Version " it started in Rhode Island.
The FIRST colony to declare Independence from Britain was Rhode Island and Providence Plantations ( actually the State with the Longest Official name as well ) And it was the Last to Ratify the Declaration of Independence by the Remaining 13 Colonies.
Rhode Island renounced its allegiance to the British Crown, on May 4, 1776. It was the last colony of the thirteen colonies to ratify the United States Constitution on May 29, 1790 once assurances were made that a Bill of Rights would become part of the Constitution.
Therefore Until ALL 13 colonies had actually ratified the Declaration of Independence: which did not occur until Rhode Island was assured and Agreed in the act : the colonies did not Officially " Gain Independence" until May ,29,1790.

Why Fidel Castro agreed to have the Soviet missiles installed in Cuba?
Asked by Wiki User
My opinion
To test the resolve of the young President Kennedy and also to find out how good the US spy satellites were.
The reason he approved is because Castro believed that another U.S. attack was immenent so he wanted the missiles as a defensive manuever

What did the Cuban Missile Crisis reveal about the policy of the US?
Asked by Wiki User
The Cuban missile crisis broke out 50 years ago this month, and its lessons on weakness, strength, and compromise have been recited ever since by politicians, pundits, and historians. The problem—which has plagued U.S. foreign policy time and again—is that these lessons are myths, based on sheer lies about how the crisis began and how it ended.
One of these myths has been thoroughly exploded (though many eminences seem not to know it). This is the notion that President John F. Kennedy got Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev to back down and remove his nuclear missiles from Cuba entirely through the threat of force. In fact, as revealed by JFK’s secret tape recordings of his meetings with senior advisers (evidence that’s been available at the Kennedy Library for 25 years now), the two leaders brokered a deal: Khrushchev would take his missiles out of Cuba; Kennedy would take his very similar missiles out of Turkey.
But the other myth, no less pernicious in its impact (and no less false), still endures. This is the legend that Kennedy cowered before Khrushchev at a summit in Vienna in the spring of 1961 and that, as a result, the crafty Communist aggressively deployed missiles in Cuba thinking the young president was too weak to respond.

What was the Bay of Pigs and how did it reflect upon John F. Kennedy?
Asked by Wiki User
The Bay of Pigs was an invasion in 1961 authorized by JFK, it was an attempt to overthrow Castro in Cuba. The US trained Cuban exiles and rebels to lead it. In response to the Bay of Pigs, Cuba and Russia became even closer. Russia secretly shipped missiles to Cuba that were then targeted at the U.S. for the protection from future invasions. It reflected badly upon JFK because the U.S. didn't back up the Cuban exiles when the plan failed and they were quickly taken out by Castro's forces. It showed poor judgment skills and poor leadership. Although, it was his fault, he was highly influenced by the military leaders at the time. Their names i can't remember
