Vietnamization was a policy of the Richard Nixon administration to end U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War through a program to "expand, equip, and train South Vietnam's forces and assign to them an ever-increasing combat role, at the same time steadily reducing the number of U.S. combat troops." Brought on by the Viet Cong's Tet Offensive, the policy referred to U.S. combat troops specifically in the ground combat role, but did not reject combat by the U.S. Air Force, as well as the support to…

He was in office during a period of severe challenges in the U.S. People often debate whether Kennedy was inept for presidency at this time.

They were asking for equality in the country, especially in the South. During this twenty-three period time frame, many events took place that changed their role in society.

Egyptian hieroglyphs used picture symbols to represent objects which is really crazy. There wasn’t punctuation, spaces, vowels, and they were written in all directions. There are over 700 hieroglyphic picture symbols in the Egyptian alphabet. But in the 1960s pictures got more groovy. Some of the biggest historical events of the 1960s affected pop art in many ways. Some of the biggest historical events of the 1960s were Marilyn Monroes death, US sends troops to Vietnam, and the assassinations of…

President John F. Kennedy announced such news on 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…

Unfortunately, Kennedy would not live to see the increase of advisors evolving into a full blown escalation due to the Gulf of Tonkin resolution. Without Kennedy to deescalate tensions, then…

was not initiated by Eisenhower. On January 20th, 1961 President Kennedy was inaugurated promising to “oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.”. In April of 1961 newly inaugurated President Kennedy initiated the plan for the invasion of Cuba.
