This began the 13 days of uncertainty, AKA The Cuban Missile Crisis. The Cubans had the means to start a nuclear war on the U.S if they so pleased, Kennedy responded to this by also threatening to nuke Cuba, should they fire the nukes. This all came to an end when Khrushchev agreed to take the nukes out of Cuba, and Kennedy agreed not to invade Cuba (he also promised to take U.S nukes out of Turkey, as Cuba considered it a threat, but this was not told to the public in order to make Kennedy look better)

Analyzing Political Cartoons Consider the papers lying next to the woman

mezya [45]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

What do you think the cartoonist meant by this symbol and his use of the words "Honour of Nations"

This cartoon was drawn by English political cartoonist David Law. It was titled "The Doormat," and was published in the newspaper "Evening Standard" on January 19, 1933.

The cartoon refers to the unilateral decision of the government of Japan to invade the Manchuria territory. The cartoonists tried to reflect the Ligue of Nations's message to this unauthorized invasion. The League represented by the woman lying on the floor being tread by a Japanese military official. The cartoonist wanted to show the weakness of the League of Nations that could not impede the invasion and could not impede Japan to refrain from invading Manchuria.

The cartoon shows that the League was not strong enough to play an important role in foreign affairs.
