Cuban Missiles Crisis
The clash between the USA and the USSR in the placement of nuclear weapons on Cuba was a defining moment of the Cold War. It took the World to the brink of nuclear holocaust. This podcast identifies the reasons why the USA fell out with Castro’s Cuba and how Khrushchev exploited the situation to Soviet advantage. We consider the response of both sides to the Crisis and how it was eventually resolved through compromise and humanity winning over demands for a military solution.
