Answer 2

Answer:

Kennedy is briefed about the missiles. ⇒ The crisis begins when Kennedy is briefed about the missiles because it is at that point that he has to start making decisions about how to respond.

Kennedy chooses naval quarantine. ⇒ Naval quarantine was less likely to lead immediately to nuclear war with the Soviet Union, but not all of Kennedy's advisors thought it was a good idea, and the Soviet Union still considered it an act of war.

Kennedy addresses the nation. ⇒ Letting the public know about the threat was risky. People could have panicked. Kennedy's address also announced the naval quarantine, though, so it put the Soviet Union publicly on notice that the missiles would not be tolerated.

An American U-2 plane is shot down over Cuba. ⇒ Several of Kennedy's advisers wanted to strike back at Cuba, an action that could have escalated to a full nuclear war.

Kennedy and Khrushchev reach public and private agreements to remove the missiles. ⇒ Khrushchev's public promise to remove the missiles in return for Kennedy's promise not to invade Cuba ends the crisis, but it makes Khrushchev appear weaker than Kennedy. The secret removal of the American missiles from Turkey made the deal much more equal, but most people didn't know about it.
