Problem 1: After reading Khrushchev's letter to Kennedy, how would you explain the Soviet perspective in your own words?
Problem 2: Using textual evidence from the letter, how does Khrushchev support Soviet actions during the Cuban Missile Crisis?
Problem 3: In the letter, Khrushchev says "try to put yourself in our situation and consider how the USA would react to such conditions." If the situation had been reversed and the Soviets had missiles stationed in Canada pointed at the United States, how do you think the United States would have dealt with the threat and why? Be sure to clearly explain your position.
