This speech was given by President Kennedy in 1962 in order to address the worrying situation of Soviet arms buildup in Cuba.
In this speech, President Kennedy suggests a series of actions in order to deal with the situation of arms buildup in Cuba. Some of the actions he suggests include:
- A strict quarantine on all offensive military equipment under shipment to Cuba (besides those necessary for fulfilling the basic needs of people).
- Continued and increased close surveillance of Cuba.
- As a policy, all nuclear missiles launched from Cuba against any nation in the West would be considered an attack of the Soviet Union upon the United States.
- The reinforcement of Guantanamo.
- A meeting of the Organ of Consultation under the Organization of American States.
- An emergency meeting of the Security Council.
- A call to the Soviet Union to halt hostilities.
Pretty much, the Communists were much stronger than the Nationalists. Their public support was strong due to promised land reform for peasants and their military organization was more experienced. The Nationalists had weak, public support and their military was ineffective, corrupt leadership and poor morale. They were an easy beat.
Hope this helps :)
I think that it is still marginally
conceivable to follow the principles of the Monroe Doctrine. Nowadays, Europe
has not been bothering the United States, except for the guidance of their very
abundant views. <span>Times have
changed, they are no longer isolated from Europe because of a supervisory
king. They need to entomb the past and become associates with any
possible supporters, because they may need them someday. This also includes
not meddling with their governments and countries unless it is completely essential. </span>
