Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev was a part of the Communist party serving as the general secretary from 1953 to 1964. Throughout his career he accomplished many different tasks including the launching the first space program, trying to beat the United States to the moon and beyond, and his speech, which denounced the popular Stalin, in 1956. But his involvement with the Cuban Missile crisis made him a force to be reckoned with.
During 1960, Khrushchev gave the communist Cuba a nuclear base. Cuba would use this base to launch nukes to America in order to stop their power from overturning the Soviet Union. This placement of missiles causes the U.S. to get involved with taking out the Soviets from Cuba. If they needed to, the U.S. was also prepared to destroy Cuba in the process.
Back at home in the U.S.S.R., Khrushchev didn’t have the best popularity. He wasn’t as followed and praised as Stalin was. There were many talks to overthrow him and Khrushchev knew he might have been in trouble. The U.S. also knew they may be in trouble so they ask Thompson, a Russian diplomat, to talk to Khrushchev. The diplomat used empathy to persuade Khrushchev to leave Cuba. Thompson told him that he would have prevented a war and that his people would praise him for it.
Khrushchev leaves Cuba and returns to the U.S.S.R. and stays there. In 1964, he is removed from public office. The communist party accused him of mishandling the missile crisis. He spent the rest of his life away from the public eye.
