What happened when U.S. spy planes detected Soviet offensive misses in Cuba?A) the U.S. Cuban community switched their support to the Democratic...

The correct Answer is C: the U.S. launched a naval
blockade of Cuba. President John F. Kennedy had previously met with the Soviet Premier,
Nikita Krushchev, at which time the Soviet Leader had browbeat him mercilessly.
Believing Kennedy to be weak, he then ordered offensive missiles placed in Cuba aimed at
strategic targets within the U.S. In response, President Kennedy ordered a naval
blockade of Cuba to prevent the installation of further missiles, or further development
of those in place. This, of course, was during the height of the Cold War, and Kennedy
did not dare use the word "Blockade," which would have been an act of war. Instead, he
called his action a "quarantine," basically a blockade by another name. It was the
closest the U.S. came to nuclear war. After a tense several days, the Soviets backed
down. They agreed to remove the missiles from Cuba, in exchange for which the U.S.
withdrew offensive missiles placed in Turkey aimed at the Soviet
Union.
