Topic 2.1
What might have happened if President Kennedy had not ordered a naval blockade during the Cuban Missile Crisis?
It could have escalated into a full-blown nuclear war between USA and USSR leading to millions of deaths worldwide
A peaceful solution with USSR would be reached without military intimidation.
The Soviets would gain strategic advantage over the US, changing the course of Cold War.
It wouldn't affect the situation much as JFK had minimal impact on overall Cold War progression.
