John F. Kennedy- JFK




John Fitzgerald Kennedy was more than just the 35th president of the United States- he was a charismatic and a popular leader. John Kennedy was the youngest President to be elected. Just as 1000 days of working as president passed John Kenndey was assassined as his motercade moved through Dallas, Texas. Major events as president were, the Bay of Pigs Invasion, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the building of the Berlin Wall, the Space Race, the American Civil Rights Movement and early events of the Vietnam War. Although he only lasted just over 1000 days as president he managed to be a great leader and manage to create significant changes in the world to that date. Even though he had such a short time as president the impact he had on Americans and the world can still be felt today.
