D) some business are now privately owned and run.I thinks it's B
To determine the correct answer, let's analyze each statement:
A. President Kennedy removed nuclear missiles from Turkey to resolve the crisis.
To verify this statement, we can rely on historical records and accounts of the Cuban Missile Crisis. The crisis occurred in 1962 when the Soviet Union placed nuclear missiles in Cuba, which posed a significant threat to the United States. In response, President Kennedy established a blockade around Cuba to prevent Soviet ships from delivering more missiles. Through negotiations, an agreement was reached, and the United States committed to removing their Jupiter missiles from Turkey. This statement is true.
B. Fidel Castro's government had manufactured guided missiles.
To validate this statement, we need to examine the historical context of Cuba and Fidel Castro's government during the Cuban Missile Crisis. While Cuba did possess Soviet-supplied missile systems, including tactical surface-to-air missiles (SAMs), there is no evidence to support the claim that Cuba's government manufactured guided missiles themselves. Therefore, this statement is false.
C. President Kennedy called Nikita Khrushchev on the hotline.
The concept of the hotline between the United States and the Soviet Union was established in 1963, after the Cuban Missile Crisis had ended. The purpose of the hotline was to establish direct communication to prevent a situation like the Cuban Missile Crisis from escalating in the future. Therefore, President Kennedy did not use the hotline during the crisis. This statement is false.
D. Nikita Khrushchev wished to goad Kennedy into invading Cuba and starting a war.
To verify this statement, we need to study the motivations and actions of Nikita Khrushchev during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Khrushchev's primary aim was to counterbalance the United States' strategic advantage in nuclear weapons by placing missiles in Cuba. Rather than seeking a war, Khrushchev's goal was to deter American aggression and protect Cuba with a show of strategic force. Therefore, this statement is false.
From our analysis, the correct answer is A. President Kennedy removed nuclear missiles from Turkey to resolve the crisis.
