The Cuban Missile Crisis (known as The October Crisis in Cuba or Russian: Карибский кризис Caribbean Crisis in Russia) was a confrontation among the Soviet Union, Cuba and the United States in October 1962, during the Cold War. In September 1962, after some unsuccessful operations by the U.S. to overthrow the Cuban regime (Bay of Pigs, Operation Mongoose), the Cuban and Soviet governments began to surreptitiously build bases in Cuba for a number of medium-range and intermediate-range ballistic nuclear missiles (MRBMs and IRBMs) with the ability to strike most of the continental United States. This action followed the 1958 deployment of Thor IRBMs in the UK (Project Emily) and Jupiter IRBMs to Italy and Turkey in 1961 -- more than 100 U.S.-built missiles having the capability to strike Moscow with nuclear warheads. On October 14, 1962, a United States Air Force U-2 plane on a photoreconnaissance mission captured photographic proof of Soviet missile bases under construction in Cuba.

  • A great speech and a great President!

  • @kozmon0t The missiles in Turkey were just part of a huge advantage enjoyed by the Americans during that time. They led with ICBM's (204 for the Americans, 26 for the Soviets), bombers (Over 1500, capable of multiple strikes due to forward bases and refueling fleet, while the Soviets had 100 good for one go), and submarines (32 Polaris missiles in 2 submarines compared to nothing from the Soviets). The Soviets deployed 32 MRBM's in Cuba, the only advantage they had, and it was lost.

  • @Thor9669 that bit is bullshit i am sorry as much i believe that they control the western countries,several countries they could never get to is Russian,China,Thailand,North Korea.when stalin came to power he threw out the Rothchilds out of the Baku,where they were running the oil industry there

    Hi MrMike,

  • @Thor9669 thanks for someone knowing the truth ,, thats so on the money,, JFK WAS KILLED BECAUSE he wanted to bring the power back to the people,,,n the MORGANS N ROTHSCHILDS N ROCAFELLARS  BUSH ,, N MAN MORE,, that was not in there was interest

  • Kennedy nearly started world war 3 by doing this. It may be one reason he was killed.

    The US enjoyed a first-strike nuclear advantage by having missiles in Turkey, the Soviets wanted to neutralize that. Kennedy could have quietly negotiated a missile swap, because the Soviets wanted that. Instead he took it to the brink of war, and had to do the missile swap anyway, plus promise never to invade Cuba. The United States lost BIG. They still lie in US schools and say Kennedy won. But he was a fool

  • Soviet military buildup was sponsored by fucking motherfucking rockefeller and rotschild to boost up the military industrial complex...Rule by fear!!!
