    Kennedy was a catholic, but though he appeared to be devout; his religion was a political liability so he avoided religious rhetoric and promoted the strict separation of church and state. Kennedy went on to push for religious tolerance in the U.S. and stress that the real issues in the U.S. were not religious in nature, but the threat of Russia and Cuba, the civil rights movement, the space race, and the poor and unfortunate people in America.

    Adolf Hitler was born in the April of 1889. In 1895, at the age of six, two important incidents occurred in the life of the young Hitler. One was that the unrestrained, lighthearted days he enjoyed up to now had come to an end. Hitler had entered a primary school. The second occurrence was that his father retired on a annual support from the Austrian civil service. This meant that young Adolf had been under the watchful eyes of both his teacher at school and his father at home. His father, Alois, was used to giving orders and having them obeyed from his kids because of his occupation in the civil service. Therefore, he was very strict. Alois Hitler never had a pleasant relationship with any of his children.…
