The USSR had missiles in Cuba. True, the US had missiles in Turkey, but this was totally different. There were missiles so close to the US. The US thought it was completely different, but it wasn't. Both the US and the USSR had missiles near the other country, within shooting range. Both were threatened by the other but both refused to move their missiles. Tensions grew higher and higher. The US wanted the USSR's influence OUT of Cuba. Finally they agreed. The US wouldn't invade Cuba and the USSR would take their missiles out. A couple months later, the US removed their missiles from Turkey. Tensions eased, somewhat. Or they eased as much as they could for to two countries that were at each other's throats.
I like how you described the tension between the two countries. It is crazy how stubborn both countries were. The did not want to remove their missles. I like how you end saying the tensions eased "somewhat".
ReplyDeleteI like how you stated that usa was getting mad at the Russians because they had missiles in shooting range from us, even though we had missiles in shooting range from them too. very good post!
ReplyDeleteI agreed with the comment in your post where you said that the Russians were mad at the Americans for having missils in Turkey, but they had missils in Cuba.
ReplyDeleteI liked how you used such descriptive words and I like how you look at the tension as a whole! Good job on explaining how tensions grew and then decreased a little!
ReplyDeleteI had almost forgotten about the US missiles in turkey. Great job at zooming out and looking at the whole spectrum.
