Kennedy during this time ... were five theories as to why the Soviet's would place missiles in Cuba: the missile gap, Cuban defense, US missiles in Turkey, diversionary trap (distracting the US concerns from West Berlin), or the Cold War politics hypothesis. In this model, we also look at why the US responded the way it did and what capabilities were emphasized.
