Question

In his letter, President Kennedy states that "the action we are taking is the minimum necessary to remove the threat to the security of the nations of this hemisphere. The fact of this minimum response should not be taken as a basis, however, for any misjudgment on your part." Think about the events of October 1962. What action is Kennedy referring to? What is he implying by stating this action is the "minimum necessary"?

20 POINT!!!

Answer 1

The action Kennedy was referring to was to the action of military intervention in Cuba to prevent the launching of the missiles with the nuclear war heads into US.
