The Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962 was a direct and dangerous confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War and was the moment when the two superpowers came closest to nuclear conflict. The crisis was unique in a number of ways, featuring calculations and miscalculations as well as direct and secret communications and miscommunications between the two sides. The dramatic crisis was also characterized by the fact that it was primarily played out at the White House and the Kremlin level with relatively little input from the respective bureaucracies typically involved in the foreign policy process.

Why did slaves learn to read if it was outlawed by slave code

Alja [10]

Even if it was illegal to teach slaves how to read and write, there are some white Christians who educated them to enable the reading of the Bible. Also, it was the right thing to do, other slave masters teach their slaves because the skill made them more useful for particular tasks.

Hope this helps. :)

What did Stalin agree to do in return for the Allied invasion of France?

Svetach [21]

declare war on Japan once the Nazis were defeated is your answer.

In the years before the declaration of war by the USSR on Japan (following the two nuclear attacks on Hiroshima & Nagasaki), the USSR had tried to keep a good relationship with Japan to avoid fighting a two-front war (which would be extremely hard considering the great distance in between European Russia and Asia Russia. However, if USSR was able to defeat one and then the other, it would be easier.

This led to the decision to help the Allies take pressure off the landing of the French beaches (Sword, Juno, Omaha, Utah, etc), and was able to 'tie up' large amounts of German troops in the east.

In return, the USSR declared war on Japan following the bombing of Hiroshima & Nagasaki (as said above), and the declaration of war on Japan, leading to Japan's surrender.

How did President Roosevelt and President Hoover differ in their approaches to dealing with the Great Depression?

Romashka [77]

President Roosevelt and President Hoover differed in their approaches to dealing with the Great Depression because Roosevelt did many things to get the economy back in shape, while Hoover wanted to tackle the problem, but didn't want to get in depth with it.

________________________________________________

President Hoover had an impression that the stock market crash during 1929 was just a simple error in the market, and that it could easily be fixed. He said that it would be fixed if everyone acted normal and act like the stock market crash never happened. The government intervention for him was not a solution.

_________________________________________________

President Roosevelt became president right after Hoover, and he noticed the problem the stock market crash had on people in the economy. The thing that he did is that he made a lot of public works projects. For example, the Works Projects Administration, was a organization which gave people short-time employments to keep them on the right track, and get the stock market crash off their minds and give them some income. He also made "bank holidays" which didn't allow people to take all of their money out of their bank account. He was doing many things to fix the economy from the Great Depression.
