The Continuing Cold War
1) Why did the USA and USSR decide to suspend nuclear tests in October of 1958?
Due to environmental concerns, the Soviet Union and the United States suspended nuclear tests in March and October 1958, respectively.
2) What happened in Lebanon and with “U-2 Spy Incident”?
In July 1958, Lebanon called for aid under the Eisenhower Doctrine as communism threatened to take over the country. In 1959, Soviet dictator Khrushchev appeared before the U.N. General Assembly and called for complete disarmament. In 1960, an American U-2 spy plane was shot down in Russia, ending the possibility of an quick peaceful resolution.
3) How and why was “Latin America” becoming more “Red”? Who was Fidel Castro and what did he do?
Latin Americans began to show dissent towards America as the United States seemed to neglect Latin America's economic needs in favor of Europe's. They also despised constant American intervention. In 1954, for example, the CIA led a coup that overthrew a leftist government in Guatemala.
Fidel Castro led a coup that overthrew the American-supported government of Cuba in 1959. Castro became militarily and economically
4) What took place during the Kennedy-Nixon debates? Why did the TV spell doom for the fish faced Nixon???
Kennedy Challenges Nixon for the Presidency
The Republicans nominated Richard Nixon to run for president and Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. for vice president in the election of 1960. The Democrats nominated John F. Kennedy to run for president and Lyndon B. Johnson for vice president.
Kennedy said that the Soviets, with their nuclear bombs and Sputniks, had gained on America's prestige and power. Nixon was forced to defend the existing administration (Republican) and claim that America's prestige had not slipped.
Television played a key role in the presidential election as Kennedy's personal appeal attracted many people. Kennedy won the election of 1961, gaining support from workers, Catholics, and African Americans.
