Read the excerpt from a 40th anniversary presentation about the Cuban Missile Crisis.

"In his biography of JFK, Ted Sorensen wrote . . . : ‘Above all, Kennedy believed in retaining a choice, not a choice between red or dead or Holocaust or humiliation, but a variety of military options in the event of aggression and an opportunity for time and maneuver in the instruments of diplomacy, and a balanced approach to every crisis which combined both defense and diplomacy.’”

Based on this excerpt, what is the best reason that Kennedy chose to blockade Cuba rather than take stronger military action?

He was afraid of the USSR’s power and its possible effects on the US.
He wanted to convince Cubans to support a democratic government again.
He wanted to keep many choices available rather than resorting to military force first.
He thought a less warlike option would work because the USSR was not able to attack.

in the manor were peasants. The manor system allowed the peasants to
have land to farm, but the lord heavily taxed the peasants. The peasants
had to give him most of the crops. In exchange the lord protected the
peasants from thieves and soldiers passing through. This protection was
valuable in those dangerous times.

Johnson, who was raised in a farmhouse near Stonewall, Texas, to a local political family, worked as a high school teacher and a congressional aide before being elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1937. Following a close and contentious victory in the Democratic Party primary, he was elected to the Senate for Texas in 1948.

In 1951, he received his appointment as the majority whip of the Senate. In 1953, he was named Senate Democratic leader; in 1954, he was elected majority leader.

For the Democratic presidential nomination in 1960, Johnson ran. In the end, Senator Kennedy defeated Johnson and his rivals for the nomination, and many people were taken aback when he unexpectedly proposed to pick Johnson as his running partner for vice president. 1960 saw the victory of the Kennedy-Johnson ticket.
