On the 22nd of October 1962, President Kennedy announced a blockade and called on the USSR to withdraw it's middiles from Cuba.
Letters (black parts were already there, blue parts are what I wrote)
23rd of October:
Dear Kennedy
Sorry, Soviet ships won't be paying attention to your little blockade. And we don't have nuclear missiles anyway.
Love Khruschev
26th of October:
Dear Kennedy
Maybe we do have missiles, but they're just defensive, honest. If the USA promises not to participate in an attack on Cuba and the Blockade is lifted then the request to remove missile sites will be much easier to consider.
Hugs &
Love Khrushchev xxx
27th of October:
Dear Kennedy
Actually, now I think about it, if you take your little missiles off Turkey then I suppose I can manage the removal of the missiles from Cuba.
Thanks a bunch,
Love Khrushchev xxx
However on the 27th of October 1962 an American U-2 plane is shot down over Cuba, the pilot is killed, the President is advised to launch a counter-attack on Cuba but he waits. He decided to ignore the second letter by Khrushchev but agrees to the first (How could he agree with the first? :S). He claims if the Soviet Union does not withdraw from Cuba an attack will follow.
28th of October:
Dear Kennedy
As I am the better person, I mean you have to admit I'm quite handsome, anyway, yes, a new order has been issured to keep the peace. The USSR will remove the 'offensive' weapons and take them back to Russia.
The more peaceful, better looking, and generally better man --->
Love Khruschev xxx
So there you go, I hope you find it interesting, or something. It was a slightly more interesting account of the letters and so I hope it'll help me remember the content...
So if anything interesting happens upon my path I will try to remember to type it on this lovely blog.

ah, yes history. it was interesting seeing as the teacher didnt even know what she was talking about. 'the USA put missiles on Cuba, which made the USA feel threatened'?
Ah well, i guess we were the only ones to notice...
Yep, the rest of the class wasn't listening lol. And then today 'the policy of appeasement' rather than 'the policy of containment', quite different things. She must have been teaching Year 10 before us lol.
Yea and she must have to repeat a lot of things for them considering their chav population and miniscule brain capacity. At leadt someone else noticed that she made a mistake today. Even if it was Emma.
* I meant 'at least' not 'at leadt'
My dear! I hope you are having a fab holiday!!!!!!!!! write on your blog. or else....................
