Question

17. Which does not accurately describe the Cuban Missile Crisis?

A) The Soviet Union and the United States were on the brink of war.
B) Relations between the United States and the Soviet Union improved afterward.
C) The Bay of Pigs invasion ended the standoff.
D) The United States announced a blockade of Cuba.

Answer 1

The Bay of Pigs invasion did not end the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is C) The Bay of Pigs invasion ended the standoff. This statement is false because the Bay of Pigs invasion occurred before the Cuban Missile Crisis, and it was a failed attempt by the United States to overthrow Fidel Castro's government in Cuba. The missile crisis was a separate event in 1962 when the Soviet Union placed nuclear missiles in Cuba, leading to a tense standoff with the United States.
