Leading up to the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Lee Harvey Oswald had a rough stage in his life. Prior to him being born, Oswald’s father died, and growing up Oswald didn’t have a father figure in his life. With that being said, Oswald acted out of needing attention from the people who surrounded him, including his own family and others around him at the time. Throughout his life, he was always troubled, and always had a bad temper about everything that happened no matter what it was. Oswald had been said to be in the USSR, previous to this happening, years before to be more detailed. Was it a possibility that Oswald had something to do with the Soviets in the assassination of John F. Kennedy?

Mostly because of the “capitalist cabal” (Prouty 1) , which is a more civil government.

During his presidency, the Cuban Missile Crisis occurred, which was the closet that the United States and Soviet Union ever came to war. Less than a year after this event, in 1963 President Kennedy gave an impassioned commencement speech at American University. His speech was not filled with inflammatory rhetoric, like calling the Soviet Union an “evil empire” as Ronald Reagan famously would.

    The Kennedy Assassination There are many conspiracy theories surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, (JFK). One of the most prominent, is that lone gunman and communist sympathizer Lee Harvey Oswald, on his own accord, took matters into his own hand and singlehandedly planned and executed the President of the United States of America. Another theory was that Oswald was a pawn in a deadly game of politics and mafia wars and was directed by the powers that be to kill JFK, and in an effort to prevent him from ever exposing the plot, he too was murdered in cold blood. Curiously, the theory that weighs in most heavily is that Lee Harvey Oswald was framed for the murder of JFK. Popular conspiracy theories claimed the “government” was behind it and the murder was in retaliation for a political upset, specifically, the Bay of Pigs conflict in Cuba (Polidoro, 2005).…
