JFK's Assassination- 2/24

Answered three questions in notes:

1.What does brinkmanship mean? How do you think it applies to the Cuban Missile Crisis?
2. How are the United States and Cuba’s relations normalizing?
3. Who killed President John F. Kennedy?

1.Brinkmanship: Risking disaster to gain the desired outcome.
Cuban Missile Crisis- On the brink of nuclear war.
2. More money can be sent to people in Cuba, credit/debit cards can be used, and some travel restrictions were lifted.
Still an EMBARGO. Still no TOURISM.
3. Lee Harvey Oswald… or did he?!
