What is the connection between the domino theory and the Cuban Missile Crisis?

Long story short, It all happened with the Bay of Pigs fiasco to remove Castro from power by using anti-Castro refugees to stage a revolt but it failed. Later a U-2 captured photos of Soviet missiles bases in Cuba but in a larger sense. Kennedy declared a naval blockade on Cuba and pressed Khruschev to take the nukes from Cuba but He refused. Kennedy mobilized the military for a possible invasion of Cuba. He probably knew the Soviets would fire its warheads from Cuba to hit Washington, New York, And Miami, etc. Also start a nuclear war with the Soviet Union. On October 27th, Khruschev agreed to take the missiles from Cuba in secret they did it if Kennedy took the missiles from Turkey pointed at the USSR.


Was the Soviet Missiles based in Cuba?

Yes, missiles from the Soviet Union were transported to and assembled in Cuba before the 1963 Cuban missile crisis.In the documentary movie "The Fog of War", Robert McNamara (then the Secretary of Defense for the Kennedy administration) tells of a discussion of his in the 1990's with Cuba's leader Fidel Castro. McNamara recalls that Castro said he not only had nuclear warheads available on the island, but that he would have used them on the US if the US had invaded. Stunned by this McNamara asked if Castro would do this knowing full-well that the US would respond with overwhelming nuclear force, and Castro answered "Yes."I recommend you read about the Cuban Missile Crisis on Wikipedia and there's an excellent little book on the Cold War titled "The Cold War: A Very Short Introduction" by Oxford university press.


Why did people watch the news with fear during the Cuban missile crisis?

At first, no one could figure out what the Soviet Union was doing, by sending ship after ship to Cuba, but suspicions were high. With photographic proof in hand, that the Soviet Union was in the midst of installing short range ballistic missiles in Cuba, President Kennedy announced his findings to the world. The worst news, was that these missiles were armed with nuclear warheads, and could reach nearly every city and town of the United States. The news led to such things as bomb shelters and storage of mass amounts of food and water.

Did President Kennedy remove nuclear missiles from Turkey to resolve a crisis?

The placement of U.S. nuclear missiles in Turkey is thought to have provoked the Cuban Missile Crisis. Missiles in Turkey were close enough to strike Moscow, so Russia placed armaments in Cuba, which was within striking distance of U.S. soil. The Missile Crisis, began on October 14th 1962. Robert Kennedy said, during negotiations with the Russians that the missiles would be removed within a short time after the crisis ended. The Missile Crisis ended on October 28th of 62 and the missiles were quietly taken out of turkey some time after April 24th 1963.


How was the Cuban Missile Crisis a Cold War event?

The Cuban Missile Crisis was when Cuba allowed Russia to store nuclear weapons in their country. This was done because of the short distance between Cuba and the United States. The Cold War was a threat of nuclear war between the Soviet Union and the United States, in addition to all of their allies, in which the two countries were fighting over world power status. The Cold War was also a war between democracy and communism. This was the single most event that cut off Cuban and American relationships, and today, the two countries do not have any foreign diplomatic relations.

What did John F. Kennedy do while president?

Kennedy's administration was known as the New Frontier - outer space. His time in office was short, so there are no major legislative agendas he worked on, however, he did save the world from a thermonuclear war from occurring during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 through diplomacy and not military action. Had military action occurred the world as we know it would have been destroyed. Yes, he was successful in the Cold War.

What was the high point of tensions in the cold war?

Likely the Cuban missile crisis. In short: Following the "bay of pigs operation" the Cubans were not happy with the U.S and very red and was going to be supplied with nukes from the soviets, this would put the U.S in a bad spot so to no ones surpries they did not like it. When the ships that we're going to deliver the nukes departed, the U.S threatened with war and nukes if those boats passed a certain line in the ocean.
