Artifact 2: Cuban Missile Crisis
•
The Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962
was a direct and extremely dangerous
confrontation between the U.S. and the
Soviet Union during the Cold war. It was
a moment when both superpowers came
closest to a nuclear conflict. The Soviets
had secret missile sites being built in
Cuba. After many long and difficult
meetings, JFK decided to place a
blockade of ships around Cuba. He
wanted to prevent the Soviets from
bringing in more supplies and demanded
the removal of the supplies. Soviet leader
Nikita Khrushchev replied by having the
U.S. take their missiles in Turkey, and
they will take the missiles out of Cuba.

minister. Diem’s father was a counselor to the
Vietnamese emperor. Diem went to the school of

Phan-Thiet province, which led to his increase of
popularity. In 1933, Diem was chosen to be the
interior minister by emperor Bao Dai. He declined
the offer, because he found that the position was
powerless. Diem led the effort to create the
Republic of Vietnam. He won U.S. support due to
his anti-communism, but began building a
dictatorship in South Vietnam. Diem lost the
backing of his U.S. patrons and was assassinated
in November 2, 1963.

Artifact 4: Bay of Pigs
•
On April 17, 1961, 1400 Cuban exiles
launched what became a botched invasion
at the Bay of Pigs on the south coast of
Cuba. In February 1961, President
Kennedy authorized the invasion plan of
Cuba. He was determined to disguise U.S.
support. The landing point of Bay of Pigs
was part of the deception. The CIA used
obsolete WWIIB-26 Bombers and painted
them to look like Cuban air force planes.
In the end, the Cubans killed more than
100 U.S. troops and 1,200 surrendered.
