Answer 1

The correct answer is B) John F. Kennedy, Cuban Missile Crisis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is B) John F. Kennedy, Cuban Missile Crisis.

After the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion plan under the Eisenhower administration, President Kennedy, along with his advisors, attempted to remove Castro from power once again during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. This crisis occurred when the Soviet Union placed nuclear missiles in Cuba, which posed a direct threat to the United States.

Kennedy implemented a naval blockade of Cuba, and through diplomatic negotiations, the Soviets agreed to remove their missiles in exchange for the US removing its missiles from Turkey.
