Cuban MISSILE crisis
Notes:
Summary:
- American’s supported a corrupt regime under Fulgencio Batista until the Cuban revolution in 1959
- Fidel Castro took over
- Alligned with the Soviets
- The Bay of Pigs (Failed invasion of Cuba)
- 1962 Soviets begin to put Nuclear weapons into Cuba (Noticed by U2 spy planes)
Subjective question: What would have happened if JFK did provide his airforce and the bay of pigs was a success
