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.
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 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!
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.
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 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.
