The Lie Ridden Assassination of JFK Dallas, November 22, 1963. Witnesses from the day claim it to have been beautiful, and even more so as President John Fitzgerald Kennedy’s presence had overtaken the city. Unfortunately, this would be the day that President Kennedy would meet his end. At exactly 12:30p.m, three shots were allegedly to have been fired by Lee Harvey Oswald, fatally injuring the President, severely injuring Governor John Connally, and somehow inducing a minor injury on a third…

On April 18th, 1961, CIA paramilitary groups landed on a beach in the Bay of Pigs in Cuba. Initially, they overwhelmed the local militia, however, within a few days, they surrendered and were put into Cuban prisons. On April 21st, President John F. Kennedy acknowledged the failure of the mission and laid the blame on himself. However, I argue that by evaluating the Bay of Pigs Invasion through the lens of the cognitive approach, we will be better able to understand the failure of the mission and…

November 22, 1963. The first impact that John F kennedy made was leading the United States Of America through the cuban missile crisis.

John F. Kennedy’s Presidency For a man who was unable to “finish the job” the question is often asked; How should history remember the Presidency of John F. Kennedy? Kennedy was the 35th President of the United States (1961-1963), the youngest man elected to the office.

the twenty-second of October, along with his plan of enacting a naval blockade around the coastal island. This plan demonstrated American readiness to bestow military action to prevent any and all potential threats to national security. The Cuban missile base simply could have been catastrophically devastating had the proper precautions been in order. A base so close to American shores could easily prove advantageous, should President Kennedy allow it. Either fortunate or unfortunate, Kennedy…

The arms race that occurred led to an increased fear across the globe of nuclear warfare between the two large superpowers of the time, the US and the Soviet Union. In 1961 the Soviet Union had been developing missile bases in Cuba merely 94 miles from Florida. This reaffirmed a suspicion that Fidel Castro had aligned Cuba with the Soviet Union. This suspicion had began as early as when Fidel Castro overthrew the Batista regime in 1959, despite the fact that the…

Well everything political and economic has an impact on other nations, like the Cold War the U.S. was facing the possibility that Russia was putting nuclear weapons on the island nation of Cuba and because of that our economic trade with Cuba was not allowed Americans weren't allowed to buy anything from Cuba or visit Cuba through U.S. airports and this effected Cuba because they got economic value through the U.S. because of tourism, trade, and exports to the U.S..

Following the Bay of Pigs invasion and the Cuban Missile Crisis, the U.S. levied an economic and diplomatic embargo which would last for the next 54 years. As recently as December 2014, the United States and Cuba agreed to restore full diplomatic relations. While loosening restriction may promote…

Russian backing. Fidel Castro allowed the USSR to deploy nuclear missiles on the island, which caused the U.S. to terminate diplomatic relations with Cuba in January of 1961. By April of the same year, a group of Cuban exiles (backed by the US) invaded Cuba at the Bay of Pigs in a failed attempt to trigger an anti-Castro rebellion. In June, President Khrushchev and President Kennedy hold summit talks in Vienna regarding the Cuban Missile Crisis. Over a year later…
