blame but at the same time cannot be ruled out.
Everyone seems to be blaming the U. S. but Castro
plays a big part as well. This release speaks of
the small details that supporters of the embargo
seem to leave out. As stated earlier, the Cuban

two superpowers; this one was even more serious
and worrying. In October 1962, the USSR decided to

grasp on its remaining colony grew slippery and
tenuous. Rather than relying on familiar arguments
about the economic viability of Spain's regime,
she turns to the texture of everyday life to
demonstrate the corrosion of Spain's legitimacy as
a ruling power. Her use of evidence throughout the
study is at once subtle and forceful. It is not by
providing a barrage of data that she persuades,
but by finding a telling detail and analyzing it

Cuban Missile Crisis The Cuban Missile Crisis was
one of the most important conflicts of the Cold
War. The United States and the Soviet Union came
close to starting the third world war in October
1962. The reason was the presence of Soviet
nuclear missiles in Cuba. For a long time, the
Soviets thought that they were years a head of the
US in terms of intercontinental missiles. After
all, they had put Sputnik into orbit, well before
the US had dreamt of such an act. Most of the

The story of the failed invasion of Cuba at the
Bay of Pigs, which is located on the south coast
of Cuba about 97 miles southeast of Havanna, was
one of mismanagement, poor judgment, and stupidity
(? Bay of Pigs? 378). The blame for the failed
invasion falls directly on the CIA (Central
Intelligence Agency) and a young president by the
name of John F. Kennedy. The whole intention of
the invasion was to assault communist Cuba and put
an end to Fidel Castro. Ironically, thirty-nine
years after the...
