Answer : JOHN F. KENNEDY
John F. Kennedy, in full John Fitzgerald Kennedy, byname JFK, (born May 29, 1917, Brookline, Massachusetts, U.S.—died November 22, 1963, Dallas, Texas), was the 35th president of the United States (1961–63), who faced a number of foreign crises, especially in Cuba and Berlin, but managed to secure such achievements as the Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty and the Alliance for Progress.
Elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1946 and the U.S. Senate in 1952, Kennedy supported social-welfare legislation and became increasingly committed to civil rights.
In 1960 Kennedy won the Democratic nomination for president, beating out Lyndon B. Johnson, who became his running mate. He narrowly defeated Richard Nixon to become the youngest person and the first Roman Catholic elected president. In his inaugural address he called on Americans to “ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”
Kennedy’s legislative program, including massive income-tax cuts and a sweeping civil-rights measure, received little support in the Congress. In 1961 he committed the U.S. to land a man on the Moon. In foreign affairs he approved a plan drawn up during the Eisenhower administration to land an invasion force of Cuban exiles on their homeland, but the Bay of Pigs invasion was a fiasco.
Determined to combat the spread of communism in Asia, Kennedy sent military advisers and other assistance to South Vietnam. During the Cuban missile crisis (1962) he imposed a naval blockade on Cuba and demanded that the Soviet Union remove its nuclear missiles from the island.
In November 1963, while riding in a motorcade in Dallas, Kennedy was assassinated by a sniper, allegedly Lee Harvey Oswald. The killing is considered the most notorious political murder of the 20th century.
