    Cuban Missile Crisis 1960s

    The Vienna Summit was a conference between United States President, John F. Kennedy, and Soviet Union Premier, Nikita Khrushchev, on June 4th, 1961 to talk about the poor relationship between the two countries and to find a resolution to their many problems. Secondly, the Berlin Wall was a physical concrete and wire wall that was constructed by communist East Germany’s government to stop East Berliners from rebelling and moving to the West. At this period in time, the United States was still fearful of Communism and discussing each country’s issues with one another did not help the stressful situation as it was intended to. Also occurring before the Cuban Missile Crisis, Fidel Castro rose to Cuban authority as Prime Minister and in 1960, he constructed an agreement with Russia promising sugar in exchange for machinery, oil, and money. The close proximity of Cuba to the United States and the weaponry and utilities that were sent to cuba from Russia unnerved Americans as they perceived these details as extremely threatening.…

    The US government and Castro regime have undeniably been waging economic war against one another since the Cuban Embargo was enacted in 1962. This embargo commenced under President John. F Kennedy during the height of the Cold War Era. Cuba became a threat to US democratic ideals when the Castro brothers led a revolt against the dictator Fulgencio Batista overthrowing his government. After Castro came to power in 1959, his government established diplomatic ties with the communist Soviet Union and then set up his own regime rooted in the Communist Manifesto.…

    Why Is The Embargo Justified Unjustifiable

    According to the terms of the embargo, “Cuba must legalize all political activity, release all political prisoners, commit to free and fair elections in the transition to representative democracy, grant freedom to the press, respect internationally recognized human rights, and allow labor unions” (“ProCon.org”). If such fails to occur in Cuba, then supporters of the embargo argue that the embargo should not be lifted because the abolition of the embargo would portray the United States as weak. The action would also endanger the civil rights of Cubans to the highest degree. According to supporters, “The United States should not risk sending the message that it can be waited out or that seizing US property in foreign countries, as Castro did in Cuba when he took power, will be tolerated” (“ProCon.org”).…

    How Did The Cold War Affect The Cuban Economy

    The way that I can relate Cuba to this is since its had the embargo from the U.S. that has caused other countries and nations to do the same or even cut their diplomatic ties just like the U.S.. From all that it makes Cuba alone and that's why Cuba is kinda still stuck in the era it was when it was cut off because you can't grow or become more new when there is nothing or no one there to help. So Cuba has been stuck in the 1950s because they were cut off, so that makes them an island so when the ties are renewed they will begin to grow again because "no man is an…

    Rhetorical Analysis Of The Cuban Missile Crisis

    After fifty- five years of a trade embargo with Cuba, the Obama Administration has decided to re-establish diplomatic ties and trade relations. As of January 2015, trade restrictions have been “eased to allow the increased export of building materials, United States telecommunications and technology”. The change in diplomatic relations is a juxtaposition to the Cuban relationship at the time of Kennedy’s administration. As a result, many scholars have questioned whether a blockade against Cuba, created during the Kennedy administration, was the right course of action or merely, “misled emotions and overreaction to the Soviet missile deployment”.…

    Imperialism In The Late 19th And Early 20th Century

    It is reasonable to assume that, if a law was passed expressly forbidding the annexation of Cuba, the lawmakers of the time had no interest in imperializing the country. What this argument overlooks is the evolving definition of imperialism in the late 19th century. In this period, official sovereignty over a nation was no longer required - instead, governments could manipulate others through military intimidation and by controlling their economy. The United States had invested more than $50,000,000 in Cuba before the war, which soon became one of the largest sources of the capital flowing in and out of the country. Having the majority of Cuba’s economy in the US’s hands was very dangerous for Cuba, as the United States could simply pull out their investments at any time, and leave Cuba with next to nothing.…

    Causes Of Cuba's Economic Crisis

    From about 1903 until 1920 the U.S. assisted Cuba in maintaining a stable government with military assistance and interventions. Cuba and the U.S. also continued a strong commercial relationship. Then in 1920, a large drop in sugar prices, which was Cuba’s main export, caused a devastating economic crisis.
