could have destroyed half of the world if launched, it also talks about relations at the
moment with other countries, how rules were broken by Khrushchev, how the leaders

Crisis. To me this article was helpful because it made me understand the aspects of the
crisis I named before.

Kennedy to make the decisions he made.

This document gave me a different perspective of the thinking of Fidel Castro about the incidents
occurred on October 1962, however, reading this document proved that he had the
intention of sending bombs to the United States and that the reason that Fidel Castro had
not given the order of attacking his opponent was that Cuba did not own the missiles, The
USSR did.

three of the countries made.
