BOMARC Missiles

Cuban Missile Crisis

Also Known as the October Crisis,

Caribbean Crisis, or Missile Scare.

The Cuban Missile Crisis was a 13 day conflict with the

United States and Soviet Union about Soviet ballistic missiles situated in Cuba.

The CIM-10 Bomarc Missile is the most

famous of the of the Bomarc Missiles.

These missiles were the first long-range

anti-aircraft nuclear missiles made. They were made and owned by North America.

They were a "Supersonic ramjet powered interceptor for Cold War air defense of North America".

These missiles had a target range of 250 to 440

miles.

These missiles were very vexed in Canada,

because they were unsure whether they

should be using nuclear weapons.

This event, the Cuban Missile Crisis was as close as the Cold War would come to being a full on nuclear-war. Both

the US and the Soviet Union gained the capabilities to

launch, from a submerged submarine, a nuclear-tipped

missile.

Where did this all happen?

For the Cuban Missile Crisis, it took place

in...OH SURPRISE! Cuba!

And for Mutually Assured Destruction, it did not

really take place anywhere, other than in the words, papers, and hearts of the two opposing sides, as it was a threaten.

There was some air/ bombers command taking

place though, between the US and Soviet Union.

DEW Line

When Did This Happen?

What is Mutually Assured Destruction in a nut shell?

DEW Line is really a short way of saying

Distant Early Warning Line.

This was their way of detecting and providing

early warning of incoming Soviet bombers during the cold war.

This applied to all sea and land invasions from

the Soviet Union.

The DEW Line was used from 1957 to the

late 1980's. It was the most northern

and capable of the three radar

lines in Canada.

For a while in the cold war,

there had been more and more new technologies coming out.

But finally by 1962, the time of

the Cuban Missile Crisis, the

U.S and Soviet Union had the

means to start a assured

destruction.

Basically, one party says, "If you make a

move on us, we will make a move one you."

And the other parts says the exact same thing.

Both sides hate each other, and it is in

assurance that if one side is to be attacked

then the other side will just as readily

attacked back.

What you do to one side, you

have to do to the

other!

Who Did This Involve?

This was a U.S Deterrence Theory which

was thought to keep wars at bay, by holding an extreme destructive power over

the enemy head.

The U.S threatened the Soviet Union with

this, who in turn, threatened it back.

Why Did all of this happen?

Franco Prussian War

-fear will keep peace

1867 invention of dynamite

-utterly destroy each other in a second

1937 Nikola Tesla described his weapon

as a super weapon that would put an

end to all war.

It was thought to be a strategic

way to keep peace by John

von Neumann.

NORAD

NORAD is the abbreviated form of North

American Air Defense Agreement.

Similar to DEW Line, it was a system that the US

and Canada created to be alerted on incoming Soviet

attacks.

The Soviet bombers were getting more strategic ways to preform and launch their missiles.

NORAD was placed in Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado,

in the high Canadian Arctic, and many other places

around the world.

The agreement of this was signed between

Canada and the US on August 1, 1957.

Test Questions

3) What was the event called where

Canada and the US created a

defense system to be alerted on

incoming attacks?
