OpenStudy (zale101):

ma'am* anyways, it looks like a typically western gun fight between Kennedy and Khrushchev

OpenStudy (firejay5):

oh well I didn't know you were

OpenStudy (firejay5):

I thought it was conveying that this battle was 2 against 1 an unfair gun battle.

OpenStudy (zale101):

i think the cartoon was during the Cuban missile crisis? right read page, 880 THE CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS Castro had a powerful ally in Moscow: Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, who promised to defend Cuba with Soviet arms. During the summer of 1962, the flow to Cuba of Soviet weapons—including nuclear missiles—increased greatly. President Kennedy responded with a warning that America would not tolerate offensive nuclear weapons in Cuba. Then, on October 14, photographs taken by American planes revealed Soviet missile bases in Cuba—and some contained missiles ready to launch. They could reach U.S. cities in minutes. On October 22, Kennedy informed an anxious nation of the existence of Soviet missile sites in Cuba and of his plans to remove them. He made it clear that any missile attack from Cuba would trigger an all-out attack on the Soviet Union.

I agree that it was during the Cuban Missile Crisis

OpenStudy (zale101):

the image has Kennedy (left) facing off with Khrushchev and Castro, fighting conveying where the missiles and thermonuclear weapons would've been used in world war 1. The weapon castros holding represents the offensive nuclear weapons in Cuba, the one who's backing him up is the U.S.S.R.'s (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) weapons representing the Soviet missile sites in Cuba

OpenStudy (firejay5):

basically this is what the cartoonist was trying to convey: where the missiles and thermonuclear weapons used in CMC would've been used in world war 1.

OpenStudy (zale101):

yes
