In response to the missiles being placed in Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962, President John F. Kennedy implemented a naval blockade, or "quarantine," to prevent further shipments of military equipment to Cuba. He also publicly addressed the nation, revealing the existence of the missiles and demanding their removal. The crisis escalated tensions between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, but ultimately, through diplomatic negotiations, the U.S. agreed to remove its missiles from Turkey in exchange for the withdrawal of Soviet missiles from Cuba.


How was Kennedys Cold War strategy different from Truman?

Kennedy's Cold War strategy, known as "flexible response," emphasized a range of military options and a focus on unconventional warfare to counteract Soviet influence, rather than relying solely on nuclear deterrence as Truman did. While Truman’s approach was largely defined by the containment policy and the threat of massive retaliation, Kennedy sought to address smaller conflicts and crises through diplomacy and limited military engagement. This allowed for a more nuanced response to global tensions, exemplified by Kennedy's handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Overall, Kennedy aimed for a more adaptable and diverse strategy in confronting Cold War challenges.
