From one teacher to another
Every class I've taught this to asks the same thing once they get the stakes: why didn't anyone just back down sooner. That question is the whole lesson. Getting students to sit inside the decision-making instead of just knowing that the crisis ended without a war is what makes this one worth real class time instead of a five-minute mention.
It's part of the Cold War unit, and it's built to work as a stand-alone crisis study even for a class that hasn't covered the earlier Cold War lessons.
There's a teacher guide for pacing, an activity with a full answer key, guided notes that track the slides, and both assessments already set up to grade themselves through Google Forms.
