  5. FOREIGN POLICY IN THE EARLY 1960s CHAPTER 29 SECTION 3

  6. The Bay of Pigs Invasion Goals of the Invasion • The United States government was disturbed when Fidel Castro took over Cuba in 1959 and developed ties to the Soviet Union. • To overthrow Castro, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) trained a group of Cubans to invade Cuba. • President Kennedy approved the resulting Bay of Pigs Invasion, which took place on April 17, 1961. Outcome of the Invasion • The Bay of Pigs invasion proved to be both a military and diplomatic disaster. • Airstrikes failed to destroy Cuba’s air force, and Cuban troops were more than a match for the invaders. • The United States lost credibility for its clumsy invasion tactics as well as its violation of agreements not to interfere in the Western Hemisphere. WRITE THIS DOWN!

  7. The Berlin Crisis Causes of the Berlin Crisis • As part of the post–World War II division of Germany, the city of Berlin in Communist East Germany had been divided into Communist and non-Communist zones. • The division of Berlin was planned as a temporary measure. • However, the Soviet Union demanded that the division of Berlin be made permanent to reduce the flow of East Germans escaping through Berlin to West Germany. Effects of the Berlin Crisis • In response to Soviet demands, Kennedy increased funding to the military and expanded the size of the armed forces. • To avoid a confrontation, the Soviets built a wall to separate the Communist and non-Communist sections of Berlin, Germany in August 1961. • The Berlin Wall came to be a somber symbol of Cold War tensions. WRITE THIS DOWN!

  8. The Cuban Missile Crisis • On October 16, 1962, photographs taken from an American spy plane showed construction of Soviet missile bases in Cuba, about 90 miles from the coast of Florida. • The American response to this construction, and the resulting Soviet response, became known as the Cuban Missile Crisis. • The Cuban Missile Crisis brought the superpowers to the brink of nuclear war. • After much consultation with his advisors, President Kennedy decided to authorize a naval “quarantine” around Cuba. • He demanded that Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev cease construction of the missile bases. • On October 25, Soviet ships headed for Cuba suddenly reversed direction, called back by Khrushchev. • This action led to tremendous relief since confrontation, and the threat of nuclear war, had been avoided. WRITE THIS DOWN!

  9. Results of the Cuban Missile Crisis WRITE THIS DOWN! • The Cuban Missile Crisis did not end when Soviet ships reversed their course, however. • The end of the crisis came several days later, when Kennedy responded to letters sent from Khrushchev, agreeing to some terms publicly and others in secret. • In the end, the Soviet Union agreed to remove its missiles from Cuba. • In return, the United States agreed to end the quarantine, stay out of Cuba, and remove missiles of its own from Turkey. • As a result of the crisis, Kennedy and Khrushchev established a “hot line” with which they could communicate quickly in case of further crises. • In addition, the United States and the Soviet Union, together with Great Britain, signed the Limited Test Ban Treaty in 1963. • This treaty banned nuclear testing above the ground.

  10. The Peace Corps • In 1961, Kennedy established the Peace Corps to further his goal of a world in which people worked together peacefully to solve problems. • Peace Corps volunteers were Americans who agreed to work side by side with local citizens in poorer nations, teaching skills and improving living conditions. • Today, Peace Corps volunteers continue to serve in nations around the world. WRITE THIS DOWN!
