Naval blockade that we called a quarantine to avoid it being labeled an act of war (which it actually was).
Which of the following is not associated with president John F. Kennedy the bay of pics invasion the great society the Cuban missile crisis the equal pay act of 1963?
The Great Society (LBJ) p.s. that question would have been easier to read if you used commas.
Why did the US name the blockade like that when the soviet ships could not enter Cuba?
Times were tense during the Cuban Missile Crisis to say the least; there were already several instances between U.S. and Soviet forces that could've led to a further escalation. A Naval Blockade is considered an act of war. To avoid that, the Kennedy Administration used the term "Naval Quarantine" (semantics), as the crisis played out also on the world stage in the United Nations. Moderates on both sides were doing everything possible to prevent the crisis from escalating into a full blown nuclear war.
What are ten events of the Cuban Missile Crisis?
President Kennedy admitted to lack of missile gap unlike Eisenhower. He said that the US was way ahead of the Soviets in the developing missiles. This made Khrushchev (The Soviet leader) look bad. And this angers Cuba a lot especially, after our failed attempt with the Bay of Pigs. Castro starts to buddy up with the Soviets a lot more. Khrushchev doesn't want to see the US take Cuba down. So he offers to arm Castro with weapons. The US had the Soviet Union surrounded with missile sites and the Soviets wanted at least one site near the US. If they could get Cuba they would have their "one place". A U2 planes discovered installation sites being built in Cuba by the soviets. Kennedy called together the National Security Council, DOD, etc. to discuss what to do with this. We came up with three options. 1)Invade Cuba-Bay of pigs was a failure. 2) Air Strike- were afraid if we did do that ,t hey would shoot our planes3) Leave it alone. No one was really satisfied with those three option so we decided to Quarantine AKA Blockade Cuba. The Cuban Missile Crisis scared everyone to death; we were on the verge of nuclear war. In 1963 the US and the Soviet Union Signed a nuclear Test Ban Treaty which banned the testing of atomic weapons. A hotline was also set up between Moscow and Washington D.C.
