Cuban Missile Crisis

Hi, my name is Charles and the following web pages will help teachers and students grasp the wide range of material available regarding the Cuban Missile Crisis, and begin to explore the primary sources needed to understand how close the Soviet Union and the United States came to nuclear warfare.

 

Through videos, audio clips, images, online essays, articles and prepared lessons students will understand the events that led to Cuba's role in the Cold War and the implications the Crisis had on global affairs.

 

I look forward to hearing feedback on the resources, and their effectiveness in teaching the Cuban Missile Crisis.
