    In 1962, The United States caught The Soviet Union building nuclear installations In Cuba. This event embodied the dangerousness of the nuclear arms race in that it very nearly caused the end of the world. The article title reads, “Khrushehev Offers to Scrap Cuba Bases.” This event was brought to its heights when Kennedy ordered a blockade of Cuba preventing any ships from coming or leaving the island. The Soviet ships actually closed within miles of the blockade before being ordered to turn around by their president. Had the Soviets crossed the blockade they would have surely been blown out of the water thus starting a likely nuclear holocaust.…

    The economic conditions of the 20 countries comprising of the Central and Eastern Europe region faced exceptional deterioration during the global financial and economic crisis. Reports from 2009 indicate that only Albania, Belarus and Poland avoided the economic crisis, while the region’s GDP sunk by 6.2% year-on-year (IMF 2010). After almost over a decade of outperforming worldwide growth, in 2009 almost every country in the region was either in or on the verge of recession. This sudden change in the financial and economic state of the region, resulted in social unrest and doubts about the future political and economic reforms in these countries (World Bank, 2010)…

    Cuban Missile Crisis

    After the United States invaded Cuba at Bay of Pigs, the Soviet Union, forced to protect its only stronghold in the Americas, sent several missiles to Cuba to offset the power of the United States. From October 16th to October 28th, 1962, intense diplomatic and militaristic actions occurred in the United States. The Soviet Union had transferred nuclear missiles to Cuba, a neighboring country to the United States. John F. Kennedy, the president during the crisis of 1962, felt the missiles were a clear and present danger to the people of the United States. The Cuban missile crisis brought panic to many individuals due to growing worry of not just another world war, but an apocalyptic war that would most probably eclipse every other war before it. The Cuban missile crisis that occurred in October 1962 was successfully averted due to prudent choices by both Kennedy and Khrushchev.…

    From 1959 to 1962, the island of Cuba changed from being America’s playground to the Soviet’s front line. Post Cuban revolution, a threat was seen in the eyes of America. Ninety miles off the coast of Florida was an island whose new set of ideals and leaders could destroy everything that 50’s America had created. This change in regime would shock the entire world and change the fate of the Cold War indefinitely. Prior to these events, America had used Cuba as a source of labor, new land for investments, and even an extension of itself where the US would intervene in affairs. This lack of respect lead Stephan Rabe to theorize that were it not because of the Cuban revolution, the mistreatment by the US would have lead to the eventual internal…

    Introduction The Cuban Missile Crisis has been one of the most formidable political-military incidents in the world’s history. It is described as a seminal event that “symbolizes a central, if only thinkable, fact about our existence” (Allison, 1969, p. 689). The crisis is the closest that the world came to the outbreak of a nuclear war between the two world superpower of the time, the United States and the Soviet Union. For the period of thirteen days of October 1962, the leaders of both sides spent every single moment to tackle the situation when there was a higher-than-ever probability of 100 million Americans, over 100 million Russians, and millions of Europeans being killed. Given the probability of calamity which Anatoly Gribkov - Soviet General and Army Chief of Operations - estimated that “Nuclear catastrophe was hanging by a thread … and we weren’t counting days or hours, but minutes”, (Wiersma & Larson, 1997, p. 3) our escape seems like magic. It would be irrational, however, to call on magic when it comes to politics or military. The nuclear war being averted, the ultimate consequence of this event should be counted on the strategic decision of the two men, President John F. Kennedy and Premier Nikita…
