Answer 1

Answer: It showed Kennedy’s confidence and calm in a high-pressure situation.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1962, the Americans found out that Russians were putting missiles on Cuba which meant that Russian missiles were too close to the United States. President Kennedy demanded that they be removed and the Russians refused and wanted to send more.

Kennedy then blockaded Cuba as Russian ships approached which would have led to nuclear conflict. Kennedy did not back down until an emergency agreement was reached by both parties. The event showed that Kenny was a confident and calm man who did not result to violence in high-pressure situations but who would still defend American sovereignty.
