As a big neighbor of the United States, Cuba hopes to maintain good relations with the United States. Castro immediately visited the United States, and the United States was indifferent. Only Vice President Nixon came forward to receive him. Disappointed, he came back to socialism, distributed land to farmers and confiscated large private enterprises as state-owned enterprises.
Unexpectedly, Americans have invested a lot in Cuba. The United States has always regarded Cuba as its backyard, and the president stamped his foot. Cuba is like an earthquake. Now that Cuba has created a rebellion, the United States has picked up the stick of sanctions and claimed to refuse to buy Cuban sugar.
Cuba's pillar industries were hit by this, which made no sense to the United States and naturally turned to the Soviet Union for help. Khrushchev announced that the Soviet Union would buy sugar from Cuba and claimed that if Cuba was threatened, the Soviet Union would not sit idly by.
The United States breathed a sigh of relief and made other plans. It organized Cuban exiles to set up death squads, and secretly sent them to Cuba to land in April 196 1, hoping to overthrow the government in one fell swoop. I didn't expect to be found in the bay of pigs at the beginning of landing. The United States did not dare to invade openly, and the warships watched the Bay of Pigs land on all the survival targets. The American government has been criticized at home and abroad for this matter, and it is completely ashamed.
Unwilling to fail, Kennedy made a detailed plan to subvert and invade Cuba. Castro turned to the Soviet Union for help, which provided a lot of assistance, including missiles. Tass news agency said that missiles are defensive, saying that Soviet missiles can attack the United States from home, and there is no need to establish missile bases overseas.
196 1 In August, the U-2 reconnaissance of the United States discovered Cuban ground missile launchers and Soviet personnel. It was repeatedly verified that there were at least 16 Soviet missiles in Cuba with a range of 1000 km. If launched, it may cause 80 million casualties in the United States. Kennedy was shocked and looked for countermeasures. After thinking for three days, I didn't dare to confront directly, so I announced the "maritime isolation" against Cuba, which was actually a blockade, and asked to check the ships going to Cuba.
American troops around the world entered a state of fighting, and the entire American people were in a state of panic. The US nuclear submarine entered the scheduled sea area, and the fighter plane hung its nuclear warhead and was ready to take off at any time.
Castro has a tough attitude and will not give in. The United States publicly declared that it would invade Cuba.
The Soviet Union sent ships in an attempt to break through the blockade, which greatly stimulated the nerves of Americans. While arguing with the United States in the Security Council, the Soviet Union ordered the Soviets to prepare for the battle. Global war is just a line, and it is by no means empty talk.
At this time, some Soviet ships approached the blockade, and Kennedy hurriedly wrote to Khrushchev, pleading not to try to break in.
10 year 10 On October 24th, a Soviet submarine went straight with two cargo ships, and the US Secretary of Defense ordered a battle. At the critical moment, the Soviet ship stopped. The Americans breathed a sigh of relief and quickly gave in, allowing an East German ship and a Soviet cargo ship to cross the border.
Since then, there has also been an incident in which unarmed cargo ships broke through the customs, which caused waves in the original smooth sailing place.
After all, Khrushchev did not dare to try nuclear war. He let it out. As long as the United States promises not to invade Cuba and makes other concessions, the Soviet Union can withdraw its missiles. Khrushchev also showed kindness to Kennedy, but put forward a harsh condition, that is, the United States must withdraw its missiles deployed in Turkey. The United States even scared and coaxed and promised to do it in the future. In fact, the Soviet Union felt guilty, just bluffing, and the first step went on.
However, the two big countries are competing with each other, and Cuba, a small country, is like a plaything. Castro was greatly dissatisfied and refused the mediation of the United Nations. At first glance, the United States withdrew its promise not to invade Cuba, and it was almost a failure. The Soviet Union hurriedly coaxed Cuba with persuasion and intimidation before settling down.
