According to the Document, what type of military weapons were in Cuba?
Although the Bay of Pigs had been a failure, Castro still feared a future invasion by US forces. Knowing he needed a strong ally, Castro allowed the Soviets to secretly put nuclear missiles in Cuba, just 90 miles off the coast of Florida. When US spy planes spotted these missiles in October 1962, Kennedy responded by authorizing a naval blockade of the island. For 13 days, the world watched as the Cuban Missile Crisis brought the two superpowers to the brink of nuclear war. Finally, after heated arguments in the UN and much diplomatic maneuvering, Khrushchev agreed to withdraw the missiles in exchange for a US pledge not to invade Cuba, in addition, the US also offered the Soviets a secret assurance that it would eventually remove US missiles stationed in Turkey as well.
