 Today I did a essay in U.S. History about the Cuban Missiles Crisis. On October 1962 President John F. Kennedy knew that Soviet missiles were being set up in Cuba.  Cuba is 90 miles from U.S. Florida and that was very scary situation for the United States. As you know President Kennedy came up with a plan to blockade Cuba. In order to blockade Cuba, ships from the Navy would not let all ships coming to Cuba and search them for weapons and not let any weapons enter Cuba. The Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev sent a letter offering to the  U.S.A. to promised not to invade Cuba, then the missiles would taken away.Than Khrushchev sent another letter wanted the United States to take away the nuclear missiles in Turkey. Kennedy gave a public message. He did promised not to invade Cuba as long as the missiles were removed. The Soviets agreed his offer and the crisis was over. It seemed that both countries were not willing to let a nuclear war tragedy.
