Question

Which of the following was not a result of the Cuban Missile Crisis?

Answer 1

The correct answer is a large increase in the number of refugees from Cuba to the United States.

The Cuban Missile Crisis was a conflict between the United States and Soviet Union that involved Cuba. At this time, Cuba was an ally of the Soviet Union. This alliance allowed for the Soviet Union to place missiles in Cuba, just 90 miles from US territory. This conflict was solved peacefully after 13 days of discussion between the US federal government and the Soviet Union.

With this information in mind, it is clear to see that Cuban refugees did not increase. This reason this cannot be true is that during this time, the US and Cuba were enemies. Many Cubans disliked America because of the Bay of Pigs invasion that happened a year prior.
