Answer 18

Where did you hear that Castro wanted complete control?

Answer 19

and if im wrong well sorry im not really good at history

Answer 20

Not a problem, I'm not good at Math, so I get it... lol

Answer 21

Where did you hear that Castro wanted complete control?

Answer 22

Google

Answer 23

i think a is best

Answer 24

Ah, screw Google... lol.

Its not A. Kennedy and Khrushchev rarely spoke directly, and when they did, it was only because we were about to launch the nukes and they wanted to make one last effort not to have to do that. The island of Cuba was discussed by Khrushchev and another leader, but it wasn't Kennedy. Can you guess who it was?

Answer 25

um either Castro or kennedy

Answer 26

It wasn't Kennedy, but your right. Khrushchev discussed the island of Cuba with Castro, but it was involving nuclear weapons.

Since we have crossed out A, lets talk about B. Did the U.S. ever place nuclear missiles in the country of Turkey in the Cold War?

Answer 27

oh its b

Answer 28

Why is it B?

Answer 29

because why would the Americans back down

Answer 30

they launching nukes

Answer 31

thats for d sorry

Answer 32

Your right about it being B. However, like I said, Kennedy and Khrushchev only talked if we were about to kill each other in a nuclear apocalypse.

It was a standoff with nuclear weapons, and both countries wanted to avoid it (as did everyone else in the world) so we worked something out at the last minute.

Answer 33

thank you so much here's more

Answer 34

Answer 35

Which answers sound bat **** crazy?

Answer 36

answers i think is a and c

Answer 37

One of those is right. So tell me, why do you think it is A?

Answer 38

well if America was shipping goods cuba could destroy it

Answer 39

Is Cuba anywhere near the Panama Canal?

Answer 40

yes?

Answer 41

The red arrow shows the approximate location of the Panama Canal, in the country of Panama. The blue arrow shows Cuba.

Now, across the water, would Cuba be able to affect the Panama Canal without using warships?

Answer 42

yes

Answer 43

no

Answer 44

i don't know i think yes

Answer 45

No, they would not be able to affect US shipping with their position in relation to the Panama Canal. The US ships could sail through the Caribbean Sea without having to worry about Cuba.

So the answer isn't A, but why do you think its C?

Answer 46

well cuba wasn't far from America so they could launch nukes so they had very little time

Answer 47

Yep, people living in Florida in major cities such as Miami, and in southern states in cities like Atlanta would have zero time to react if the Soviets shot a missile off from Cuba.

C is the correct answer to this question.

Answer 48

C.
Decent people, both in the North and in the South, were horrified and outraged.


D.
Most northerners and southerners felt the civil rights movement had achieved its goals.

Answer 49

I haven't read up on the civil rights movement in forever. I can't help you with that question, sorry.

I would think the answer would be C. However, I don't think that southerners saw a problem with it at that time. Hell, I know a couple of people who wouldn't have a problem with it today.
