Analyze the Political Cartoon: What does the artist claim about the Cuban Missile Crisis?

that we are wining and they are struggling to keep up

Explanation:

Cuba is sweating witch can be a sign of stress

The message of this cartoon is

That Kennedy and Khrushchev are engaged in a trial of strength over Cuba or are testing each other’s resolve

I can tell this because of these details

The cartoon shows Khrushchev and Kennedy arm wrestling. This is to represent the

trial of strength or testing of each other’s resolve. Both are shown sitting on bombs with

Kennedy clearly shown as ready to press the button to fire the bomb that is under

Khrushchev. In the background Khrushchev also is ready to press his button. Kennedy is

in the stronger position and Khrushchev is shown as sweating more heavily which

represents concern and worry about Kennedy’s actions.’

Own knowledge

This cartoon was published at the time of the Cuban missile crisis. The USA had missiles trained on the USSR whilst the USSR was putting missiles on Cuba which threatened America. Each side was seen to be testing the other and Kennedy threatened to use nuclear weapons if the missiles were not removed.
