He couldn't do that because the missiles were Russian in Cuba. Cuba was being used by the Russians and if he had invaded there would have been a war. In fact, it got within hours of war before an agreement was reached to remove the missiles. So, it wasn't as easy as invading Cuba and causing a war between two superpowers.

What were the effects on the Kansas-nebraska act?

A local vote in Kansas to decide whether it should be slave or free. Its sponsors simply didn't realise that it would attract cross-border terrorists from both sides to invade this thinly-populated area to intimidate the voters and try to get the results declared invalid. 'Bleeding Kansas' is regarded as a curtain-raiser for the Civil War. Some even claim that these were the opening shots of the war.


What presidents have not taken a salary?

Herbert Hoover and John Kennedy donated their presidential salaries to charity. Theodore Roosevelt suposedly used his salary solely for entertaining at the White House.

What president said something wrong in German?

The legend went that John F Kennedy said "I am a jelly donut" when he was speaking in Berlin when he was trying to say "I am a Berliner" because Berliner Pfannkuchen means jelly donut in German and is usually shortened to Berliner in some parts of Germany. However, in Berlin, that phrase isn't used, instead jelly donuts are referred to as Pfannkuchen in Berlin. So, really the jelly donut myth is simply that, a myth.
