1) ariel spying over Cuba produced pictures that showed missile silos being built in Cuba. The design of the silos made it clear they were designed for missiles, and it made no sense for Cuba to put in anything less than nuclear missiles there. Missiles they could not build themselves, so had to come from the Soviet Union.
2) Only minutes. A launch from the Soviet Union to the US only takes about 20 minutes. Depending on the range of the missiles put into the silos, warning time would have been anywhere from 3-10 minutes. Not enough time to verify that it was a launch, and not a detection system malfunction, forcing America to launch immediately, or risk losing its capacity to strike back.
3) A direct attack or invasion of Cuba would have forced the Soviet Union to respond in kind. The USSR simply could not abandon Cuba, without losing all credibility among its allies and vassal states. So they would likely have struck back at the US, probably in Europe. This would have dangerously escalated the tensions, and increased the probability of nuclear war. Other officials believed that a quick,determined strike would not only eliminate the immediate threat of missiles in Cuba, but possibly overthrow the regime and force the USSR to accept the situation. The idea of a naval blockade was a compromise position. A threat of force, but one that allowed the USSR to back off. After all, so long as the missiles were not put into the silos, they were no threat.

It was known as the Farmer's Alliance and was formed in the 1880s by farmers that had economic problems and their voice was not being heard by the government. So in 1892, they formed thePeople's Party also known as the Populist Party, to help farmers to help overcome problems such as falling prices of crops and low credit support.

During this time many explorers were driven by 3 things, “God, Gold, and Glory”. Firstly the Spanish were driven there in order to expand that of Christianity. They wanted to convert the indigenous people from there original religion. Next, they went there for the intriguing thought of gold. They wanted to be rich. What better way to get rich than gold through the help of trade. Next of glory, glory came from expanding their territory. The more land a country had the more powerful they would be.
