Monday in class, we talked about subjective perspectives from Soviet Union citizens, and citizens from the U.S. during the Cuban missile crisis. Although we talked about how we felt each type of citizen would feel and react, we never talked about how the Cuban citizens might have felt. Well from the position of a Cuban citizen, they must have felt scared because they were in the middle of two super powers fighting to win a war. Although Cuba was building nukes on their land for the Soviets, they still could not have felt comfortable knowing that the U.S. and the Soviets had the power to just wipe them out. They felt the U.S. could do this which is why they started building missiles in Cuba in the first place, but I am sure some Cubans were still worried about trusting the Soviets.
