Thanks for the quiz :)

For the Cuban Missile agreement, wasn't it that Khruschev sent JFK a telegram saying thathe would destroy the Cuban Missile bases if JFK agreed not to invade Cuba and stop the naval blockade. JFK agreed to this one and secretly in another telegram agreed to dismantle the missile base in Turkey?

Great quiz, but for question 2, i have always been tought that Truman told everyone at Potsdam that the USA had the atomic bomb. It was a reason for Stalin to distrust him, as Truman could have used it on any country.
