Question

The Soviet Union and the United States nearly went to war with each other in 1962 when the United States discovered Soviet missiles on the island of Cuba. This event, called the Cuban Missile Crisis, was resolved peacefully after several days of negotiations between U.S. and Soviet leaders. Which approach would a military historian take to study the Cuban Missile Crisis?

Answer 1

Answer: B. Describe the tactics the United States might have used to  physically destroy the missiles in Cuba

Explanation:

By looking at the tactics the U.S. government might have used to physically destroy the missiles in Cuba such as an invasion or a missile strike, the historian would be able to better study the Cuban Missile Crisis because they would be able to look at what the potential Soviet retaliation for such an action would have been.

This would provide insight into the workings of both governments at the times and what they planned to do if the Cuban Missile Crisis had escalated.
