Question

Who won the Cuban Missile Crisis?

1. Evidence that could be used to show the Kennedy won

2. Evidence that could be used to show the Khrushchev won

Answer 1

Reasons for Kennedy:


• Khrushchev was sacked as a Russian leader in 1964 and replaced by a tougher leader (like Stalin) who was called Brezhnev

• The withdrawal of the Russian missiles in Cuba made it harder for Russian to threaten the USA

• Kennedy took the whole world to the edge of nuclear war and he looked strong in the face of the Russians

• Kennedy was the one who stood up to Khrushchev and wouldn’t back down over removing the Russian missiles from Cuba

• When the Russian mistakes were removed from Cuba the USA was less vulnerable and didn’t feel threatened by Russia

• Khrushchev was forced to withdraw the Russian missiles from Cuba when they were faced with the American blockade around Cuba


Reasons for Khrushchev


• The USSR felt more safe as they succeeded into getting America to withdraw the missiles from Turkey



(tbh i feel like the USA won the Cuban Missiles Crisis since i don’t rlly have enough reasons of why the USSR won)
