Jhon Kennedy Life's Journey

On 22 November 1963, when he was barely in his first thousand days in office, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was murdered by a killer bullets when his convoy wound through Dallas, Texas. Kennedy was the youngest man elected president, he was the youngest to die.
Irish descent, he was at Brookline, Massachusetts, 29 Born in May 1917. Graduated from Harvard in 1940, he joined the Navy. In 1943, when his PT boat rammed and sunk by a Japanese destroyer, Kennedy led the survivors in spite of serious injury through dangerous waters to safety.
Back from the war he became a Democratic Congressman from the Boston area, to promote the Senate in 1953. He married Jacqueline Bouvier on 12 September 1953. In 1955, while recovering from back surgery, he wrote Profiles in Courage, which won the Pulitzer Prize in history.
In 1956 Kennedy almost the Democratic nomination for the vice presidency and four years later was a first ballot nominee for President. Million watched his television debates with the Republican candidate, Richard M. Nixon. Winning by a slim majority in the popular vote, Kennedy was the first Catholic president.
His inaugural address offered the memorable injunction: "Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country." As president, he is on track to fulfill his campaign promise to America moving again. His economic programs launched the country on its longest sustained expansion since World War II, before his death he laid plans for a massive assault on persisting pockets of privation and poverty.
In response to increasingly urgent need, he took strong action in the matter of equal rights, calling for new civil rights legislation. His vision of America to the quality of national culture and the central role of the arts in a vital society.
He wanted America to be devoted to its old mission as the first nation to continue the revolution of human rights. The Alliance for Progress and the Peace Corps, he brought American idealism to the aid for developing countries. But still, the harsh reality of the communist challenge.
Shortly after his inauguration, Kennedy had a band of Cuban exiles, already armed and trained to conquer their homeland. The attempt to overthrow Fidel Castro's regime was a failure. Shortly thereafter the Soviet Union once again its campaign against West Berlin. Kennedy replied by reinforcing the Berlin garrison and increasing the nation's military strength, including new efforts in space. Faced with this reaction, Moscow, after the construction of the Berlin Wall, relaxed the pressure in central Europe.
Instead, the Russians will now want to install nuclear missiles in Cuba. When this was discovered by air reconnaissance in October 1962, Kennedy imposed a quarantine of all offensive weapons on their way to Cuba. While the world trembled on the brink of nuclear war, the Russians backed down and agreed to accept the missiles. The U.S. response to the Cuban crisis evidently persuaded Moscow of the futility of nuclear blackmail.
Kennedy said today that both parties had a strong interest in stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and slowing the arms race - a contention that the Test Ban Treaty out of 1963. The months after the Cuban crisis showed significant progress toward its goal of "a world of law and freedom of choice, the exiled world of war and violence." Began his reign by the new hope for the equal rights of Americans and the peace in the world.
