Setting-Geography




My entire story takes place in 1962 for 14 days in October. The beginning of my story takes place in a little town in Cuba named Habana. Fidel Castro lived in Habana. Cuba is the largest island in the west indies. It is just west of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. It is also 90 miles from the Key West in Florida. Cuba also includes other small islands, cays, and islets. The capital of Cuba is Havana. The Official language is Spanish and about 11.2 million people live on the extraordinary island. The climate is subtropical and the climate in the summer is about 25 degrees Celsius and and is in the winter its about 22 degrees Celsius. Cuba is the place where Fidel Castro and Nikita Khrushchev made the plan to bomb America but were defeated by John F. Kennedy's threat to declare nuclear war. Nikita Khrushchev chose Cuba because Cuba was very very close to America and was pretty easy to bomb if you had the right equipment and they had the right equipment so American citizens were biting their finger nails because Nikita Khrushchev and Fidel Castro had the ability to bomb America at any time.
Then for the other parts of my story it took place it Washington DC, America. That is where John F. Kennedy figured out what to do to solve this problem so that millions of Americana's wouldn't die from a horrible bomb. Washington DC is the capital in America. Washington flourished into a city after the Revolutionary war. Washing DC was named after George Washington and Christopher Columbus. The whole state is about 70 square miles. There are over 570000 citizens in Washington DC. There is about 7 square miles of water in Washington DC. So Washington is a pretty amazing place. John F. Kennedy couldn't really pick his place but he was already in Washington so why not stay there
