Cuban Missile Crisis
In 1962 , Nikita Khrushchev , a secretary of the Soviet Union secretly built forty-two missile sites in Cuba.
In October of the same year, an American spy plane discovered the site and informed the president, John F. Kennedy said that the sites were too close to the United States mainland and it was considered a threat to the U.S.
Fidel Castro and Cuba were involved at the time and when the U.S. demanded the sites to be removed and it caused collision between the U.S. and Soviet Union . The Soviet Union agreed to remove the sites in return that the United States will not invade Cuba.
Fidel Castro supported the Communist party and depended on the Soviet Union for support . At first the people in Cuba were happy that he was their leader because for example he believed that “drugs alcohol and prostitution were major evils”,
but later he destroyed the economy in Cuba. He also supported Communist Revolutions in Latin America and Africa which led to a loss in the Cuban economy but it would either be to adopt reforms or give up his power.
