Have you ever been in a sticky situation where you didn’t really know how to respond? President Kennedy was in this position during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. John F. Kennedy was put in a bad situation during the Cuban Missile Crisis where he had to decide, along with all of the Excomm members, how to properly remove the missiles from Cuba. Although President Kennedy may have acted inappropriately at certain times, he was always sure to make his wrongs into rights. President Kennedy displayed the most effective communication during the Cuban Missile Crisis because he was open-minded and knowledgeable.…
John Fitzgerald Kennedy’s significance was that he won presidency after narrowly beating Richard Nixon in the 1960 presidential election. The debates between Nixon and Kennedy were the first to be televised and many tilted toward Kennedy because he looked younger and healthier than Nixon did, which introduced the idea that public image was highly influential in the way Americans voted. Among John F. Kennedy 's most notable and long-standing accomplishments was the establishment of the Peace Corps, an organization that is now responsible for sending thousands of American volunteers around the world to help the needy. JFK’s cautious and sensible approach to the standoff during the Cuban Missile Crisis diverted a nuclear war with the Soviet Union. Kennedy promised freedom to the world but was very cautious when it came to ensuring equal rights in the United States. Kennedy’s leadership in the civil rights area was hesitant at best, but he laid out the floor plans…
1. The straightforwardness and simplicity of the introduction set the tone for the rest of the letter by stating his position (“Seldom do I pause to answer criticism of my work and ideas”) and his purpose or refutation (“I want to try to answer your statement in what I hope will be patient and reasonable terms”).…
Kennedy was the president from the start of the 60s and was able to avoid nuclear war. John F. Kennedy (JFK) had tremendous skill when it came to political challenges, in that he had no real internal challenges. John F. Kennedy’s economic plans helped the nation with his low tax plan and lower interest rates. JFK lead to the GDP increasing and many businesses booming. JFK advanced civil rights by being the first president to advocate of civil rights of African Americans and setting the ground work for Lyndon B. Johnson. Where JFK failed is what many consider his success, his diplomacy skills. While it is true JFK was able to prevent going to nuclear war with Cuba it was JFK who put us there in the first place. JFK instead of communicating with Fidel Castro and negotiating diplomatically JFK tried other methods. JFK had numerous assassination attempts on Castro and the whole reason Cuba felt it needed nuclear weapons was to protect itself from the US after the Bay of Pigs incident. Another stain on his record which is more often blamed on his successor was the start of the Vietnam war. JFK first backed a dictator over a democratically elected official and when he fell, JFK trained the “resistance” against North…
As a result, JFK’s vision for the United States role in the Cold War and the world, was to demand world peace. Being the first president born in the 20th century, JFK whole political career had some sort of issues with the Soviet Union. “His inaugural address stressed the contrast between the free world and the communist world, and he pledge that the American people would “pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and success of liberty” (John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and…
One of the first moves that John F. Kennedy did was to keep the information he knew a secret to Cuba and the Soviet Union. This allowed him time to meet with advisors and create a strategic plan for avoiding a nuclear war. Everything occurred as usual for the President till the fifth day when President Kennedy suddenly returned to Washington for a meeting with his top advisors. It wasn’t until this time that John F. Kennedy decided to go with a forceful approach and use a nautical blockade just around Cuba. This forced Cuba to become quarantined, which prevented the Soviets from bringing in offensive military supplies.…

His brother Robert Kennedy, who served as Attorney General during the Kennedy administration broke down on organized crime. One theory declares that the Mob was ireful with attempts by Robert. The mafia had no real interest in John F. Kennedy. Maybe his brother Robert, but not the President.Alliance between the Soviet Union and US were extremely low at the time of Kennedy's death, with both sides not able to trust each other. One popular theory is that Nikita Khrushchev, the Soviet Premier, instructed the attack on Kennedy because he was abashed at having to give up following the Cuban Missile Crisis. The Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 gave very good reasons not to like Kennedy to the Soviet security agency KGB. A version of the theory also suggests…
John Fitzgerald Kennedy Inaugural Speech, delivered in a day so cold one could only see other people’s eyes, is one of the greatest speeches ever delivered by a president of the United States. It’s attention grabber, “We observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom--symbolizing an end as well as a beginning--signifying renewal as well as change”, captured the attention of everyone by exclaiming not a victorious party, but to celebrate a new freedom era.

Meanwhile he moves on throughout the speech he always mention freedom and peace, making this the objective of the speech. He starts his conclusion by not only talking to United States but also to the entire world, to find freedom and peace. By following an order and never wonder around topics nor to mix topics, he made this speech one that can be followed and one would not get lost.…
Kennedy was the first president in the Cold War to use a new idea. He brought in the idea of flexible response. Kennedy didn’t want to contain Communism, wanted to get rid of it completely(Kennedy). Kennedy only helped non Communist countries and independent countries that didn’t want Communism to rule(Kennedy). Kennedy founded the Peace Corp to help other countries in any way possible(Kennedy). Kennedy also sent weapons and the ideals of democracy to countries that needed to defend their lands. Kennedy did have restrictions, but giving like this would give the US a good reputation and make countries think about converting to a democratic government(Kennedy). “Always seek peace, but never surrender”(Kennedy). This quote is Kenney’s whole idea of protecting his nation. This idea worked with the Cuban Missile Crisis, but didn’t with the Bay of Pigs Invasion. Cuban Missile Crisis was the conflict between the US and the USSR about nuclear warheads in Cuba(Kennedy). Bay of Pigs was the failed invasion of Cuba by the US(Kenney). Kennedy came up with another idea called Massive Retaliation, which is using overwhelming force by using nuclear weapons(Ayers 850). This idea brought the US and USSR to the brink of nuclear war, which is Brinkmanship(Ayers 850).…
He convinced his brother, president John F. Kennedy, to attempt a more peaceful resolution to the missile crisis. Robert Kennedy was one of many in charge of ensuring every possible option to protect the United States was being considered and analyzed. He abandoned his position of an airstrike against missile sites in Cuba and advocated establishing a naval blockade to halt the Soviet ships carrying missiles, along with a diplomatic settlement. As the action to be taken against the Soviet Union’s threat was undetermined, “He continually challenged the morality of launching a preemptive air strike on the missile sites, a solution favored by former secretary of state Dean Acheson and others.” (____)…
This tension could have easily inspired Castro to manipulate someone who visited the embassy often, like Oswald, into killing the American president. The fact the Cuban government knew something was going to happen the day Kennedy was killed almost undoubtedly proves the Cuban government is to blame for the death of the beloved president Kennedy. Though many analysts and historians have generated countless theories and stories behind the assassination, this idea that the Cubans are to blame has by far the most evidence and is most likely the true answer the mystery of JFK’s assassination that our nation is still attempting to solve to this…
-Marked the first time in the Cold War period that the US and the USSR worked together to lessen international tensions, caused primarily by MAD.…
The Cold War (1945-1991) was basically an ideological standoff between the ideas of Communism supported by the Russians and Democracy/Capitalism supported by the Americans. Communism is a political ideology which has the central principle of ¡§communal or communist ownership¡¨ of all property and therefore the abolition of private property. Democracy is a form of government in which the people vote, have a representative government and via these representatives ¡§govern themselves¡¨. During the period between 1961 to 1963, Nikita S. Khrushchev represented Communism and ruled Russia, while John F. Kennedy embodied democracy and lead America. The two leaders differed in their foreign policies as is evident by the Berlin Wall incident and the Cuban missile crisis, but both were somewhat radical in their domestic policies.…
