J. F. Kennedy
John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States of America was born in Brooklyn (Massachusetts) in 1917 as a child of a millionaire capitalist family. At the time of the World War II, he served at US Naval, later he became a corespondent of International News Service. He was a Democrat, in 1952 he was elected to be the Senate of Massachusetts. On 8th November 1960 he won the presidential election against Richard Nixon. He succeeded Eisenhower. He was the youngest and the first catholic American who presided over the US. His elective slogan was: 'Let the life brighten up again in this country!' In respect of internal politics, he tried hard to end up recession, give a boost to the economics, he developed the institutions which supported the disadvantaged. He also supported the civil rights demand of the Black, defended the integrational politics.
The opposition in the Congress didn't support his progressive Bills. After the unsuccessful debarkation of emigrants of Cuba supporting by the USA, his politics with the Soviets was easing. One sign in his meeting with Khruchev in Vienna in June, 1961. Still in this year he reached a great political victory obtaining Soviet rocket withdrawal in Cuba. The easing process started by the agreement in Moscow about having atmospherical nuclear tests. Although he started the military intervention in Vietnam, his movements for the peaceful life with each other and for his support for the Latin-American states gave him great popularity. He was the first politician of the era of the television.
On his official tour in Texas, he was assassinated on 22nd November, 1963 at 12:30 and died in the Memorial Hospital, in Dallas, half an hour later. The circumstances are unknown, its datas were made secret. Many Americans doubt about the official report of the Warren-committee. Some accept the theory of the lonely assassin, others inspect the Mafia, other consider that Kennedy was a victim of a political conspiracy. In any case, the fact is that many politicians didn't accept his modern view.
One of his most important heritage for his successor, Lyndon B. Johnson was the conflict in Vietnam. During his presidency the number of mainly military advisors was raised to 16-17000 because he thought that they have enough to repel the forces of North Vietnam and to form an anti-Communist government in South Vietnam. Later, it turned out to be a great mistake.
