Question

6. When President Kennedy ordered the Soviet Union to remove the missiles

from Cuba, he also ordered a blockade of the island. How would the
blockade have helped Kennedy achieve his objective of getting missiles out
of Cuba?

Answer 1

After many long and difficult meetings, Kennedy decided to place a naval blockade, or a ring of ships, around Cuba. The aim of this "quarantine," as he called it, was to prevent the Soviets from bringing in more military supplies. He demanded the removal of the missiles already there and the destruction of the sites.
