what actions the U.S took to support the cuban missle crisis?

Question

like give me some examples

Answer 1

The USA did not take action to support the crisis. We took action to end the crisis. The main action we took was a naval blockaqde of Cuba, stopping all ships carrying offensive weapons into Cuba and turning them away. At the same time, negotiations took place at the highest diplomatic levels, including "hot line" telephone conversations between John Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev. The crisis ended when the USSR removed its offensive missiles from Cuba.

Answer 2

Your question is confusing. The US did not support the crisis. The actions taken by the US during the Cuban Missile crisis include an embargo, Naval Blockade and Adelade Stevenson pounding on the podium and showing proof that the Soviets were putting missiles in Cuba to the UN. The pressure applied to the USSR caused them to back down and remove the missles.

Answer 3

The USA did not "support" the Cuban Missile Crisis.

It was brought on because Kennedy failed to support the Bay of Pigs invasion as he promised and he did nothing when the Berlin Wall was put up. Both convinced the leadership of the USSR that Kennedy could be pushed around. When finally he found his backbone, it was at the worst possible time.

When he ordered a blockade of Cuba, he was shocked to learn the US Navy, using standard procedures, set up a blockade 600 miles from Cuba. (If they failed to stop a ship at that distance, it gave the Navy time to intercept the ship as it got closer to Cuba.)

Kennedy ordered the blockade moved in to 200 miles of Cuba. That gave HIM more room before a confrontation came with the USSR over stopping the ships, but did not give the US Navy any room if a ship got past them.

Kennedy also ordered the B52 on flying alert to fly closer to the USSR. When the USSR was faced with hundreds of armed B52s close to its borders, it knew finally Kennedy found his spine.

The outcome that most people know is that the USSR back down and removed their missiles from Cuba. What they usually do not know is shortly after that event, the USA removed its nuclear missiles from Turkey. The USA also promised never to invade Cuba but we never got a counter promise from the USSR not to Invade Cuba.

The USSR then started on a massive build up of its military and nuclear arsenal while at the same time, the USA got into a foolish war in Vietnam that sapped the American military and more importantly, turned the USA into a nation that cuts and runs. That legacy extends to today, where we are about to cut and run from another war.

Answer 4

Kennedy understood the concept of "walk softly and carry a big
stick".

The naval blockade did nothing to stop the crisis. The missiles
were already in country.

The fifth Infantry Division Mechanized was the big stick.

We were mobilized and on the move within twelve hours.

Russia and Cuba backed off. Crisis over. The big stick worked.

Answer 5

President JFK was in office at the time. The Chinese were bringing WMD to Cuba & he told them to back off, they could not give Cuba any missles or it would be war with the U.S. It was a very tense time, we were not sure of what was going to happen. Kids in schools were given instruction on what to do in case of an attack by missles. We all held our breath! China backed off & went home taking their missles with them!
We at home also prepared for the worst, we were to put plenty of water in glass jugs with lids, buy non pershible supplies, mainly canned food & to fix a place in the basement to go if we were attacked. Those without basements were instructed to go to places where there were basements. We were take clean clothes & blankets or sleeping bags with us.

Answer 6

U2 flights over Cuba gave Kennedy the proper idea of how many missiles were in Cuba, when they were there, and how to react. His stalwart stance against Kruschev and willingness to compromise and remove missiles from Turkey allowed for a quick and peaceful resolution of the matter.

Answer 7

I don't know if you could say that the US supported it, but they created the situation by putting missiles in Turkey. USSR responded by putting missiles in Cuba.

Answer 8

naval embargo.
