Cold War - Major Events of the Cuban Missile Crisis
Storyboard Popis
Major Events of the Cuban Missile Crisis - Have students create a timeline to chronologically show what led to the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 under president John F. Kennedy. Students will be able to outline and define the events that led to both the U.S. and U.S.S.R. being on the brink of nuclear war. Furthermore, it will highlight major global policies and negotiations that took place to avoid conflict and nuclear destruction. In addition, this will help summarize the growing tensions that existed between the U.S. and U.S.S.R. by Kennedy’s presidency, and give understanding as to just how the Cold War was a continuous ideological war.
