Question | Answer |
Pressure | Kennedy was under serious pressure from US military leaders to bomb and invade Cuba immediately - this would have certainly led to war with USSR |
No conflict | Kennedy wanted to give himself and Khrushchev a means of solving the missile crisis without immediate conflict, which is why he chose a blockade |
Didn't want to humiliate | Kennedy realised that he needed to give Khrushchev a way out without appearing to humiliate him - in private, he agreed to not invade Cuba and to later remove missiles on Turkey |
