Cuban Missile Crisis

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article for many reasons. First and foremost, I find this topic extremely interesting, as it is one of the closest times the world has been to full scale nuclear war. Additionally, I wrote an essay on this topic and already have some background knowledge. This was a huge turning point in the cold war, and eventually led to the resolution of it as well. My first impression of this article was that it is well written and remains neutral, while listing facts that are supported.

This article has a very strong lead section. By reading the first paragraph, even the first sentence, one can get an understanding of what the topic is with some general information. The content in this article is strong, relevant, and up to date. I can't seem to find anything that seems out of place or missing, and the article does a great job staying neutral and fact-driven. The article does not attempt to persuade viewers, and is not biased in any way. It is strictly fact-based. It is well organized, but could use a touch up regarding punctuation and commas. There are many images that are relevant to the topic and provide support to help the reader further understand the Cuban Missile Crisis. Overall, I think this is a great article and it does a good job staying focused, unbiased, and informative.
