Process Paper
Aiden Fowler and Kyle Nielsen
We chose this topic because we wanted to think of one of the deadliest conflicts ever. We thought of the World Wars, but we wanted to stand out from others. So, we continued looking and then we found the Cold War. We decided to further narrow it down to the Cuban Missile Crisis. Finally, we limited it to John Frederick Kennedy's effect on the Cuban Missile Crisis.
To gain info on the Cuban Missile Crisis, we searched the web for many photographs, newspapers, and other documents. We also used multiple second-hand accounts from websites. These sources helped us to understand more about the conflict leading up to the Cuban Missile Crisis, during, and after. We also found two videos about the Cold War and the Cuban Missile Crisis. Lastly, we found photos of all three missile launch sites.
We chose to build a website because we have an abundance of experience with websites and computers. We have made two websites in the past for History Fair and they were easy to use and user friendly. We will use Weebly to help us build our website again, this year. We believe that with our wealth of knowledge and the help of the Great Wide Web, we will make a great website this year.
Our project relates to the theme, Conflict and Compromise, because of its relation to the Cold War. A war of constant threat and worry of annihilation. Then the conflict intensified as the Cuban Missile Crisis happened. The Cuban Missile Crisis was when the USSR set up nuclear missiles in Cuba. They likely did this because we put nukes in Turkey. It was later resolved by a compromise between Khrushchev and J.F.K. They compromised to remove nukes from Turkey and Cuba. This also contributed to the end of the Cold War.
