Question

The Soviet Union and the United States nearly went to war with each other in

1962 when the United States discovered Soviet missiles on the island of
Cuba. This event, called the Cuban Missile Crisis, was resolved peacefully
after several days of negotiations between U.S. and Soviet leaders.
Which approach would a cultural historian take to the Cuban Missile Crisis?

C. Examine the effects of the Cuban Missile Crisis on the U.S. and Soviet economies.

D. Explain why the negotiations that ended the Cuban Missile Crisis were successful.

McNamara advocated addressing the situation with the Soviets and Cubans, forming a naval blockade to prevent supplies, or ordering an air attack to destroy the missiles and invade Cuba. While Soviet military commanders had full missile-firing power, U.S. military officers sabotaged Cuba, and American planes entered Soviet airspace during the crisis.
