Missile Gone Wild in Cuba

The Cuban Missile Crisis

 By Anthony Depalma

The Soviet Union had secretly hidden nuclear missiles on Cuba aimed at America. In 1962 President John F. Kennedy let the public know that the Soviet Union was starting a nuclear war. A standoff between the U.S and the Soviet came to a 13-day wait. Kennedy knows if he didn't do something tens of thousands of innocent people would be killed. It would be difficult for Kennedy to remove the bomb without starting a war with the Soviet Union.

During World War II the U.S. and the Soviet Union had been allies. The Soviet Union triggered a change of friendship when they started setting up a Cold War.

President Kennedy handle this situation well by standing up to the Soviet Union. Why, I say this is because if the government didn't keep making nuclear bombs the Soviet Union would have bombed us first.

While the U.S. and Soviet Union were trying to launch a nuclear war U.S. and Soviet Union were trying to launch a nuclear war U.S. families built underground bomb shelters.

This article opened my eyes on how terrified the U.S. and Soviet Union were scared off each other. Why, I say this is because they both wasted so much money into making the bombs and never launched them.

This moment in history should be talked about in World History or Social Studies classes. So that the younger minds of our nation can have an understanding on this nuclear fight between the U.S and Soviet Union
