Presidency of Kennedy
Kennedy focused on advancing civil rights and the economy during his presidency. He declared America's goal of landing a man on the moon by the end of the 1960s and increased NASA's budget. In foreign policy, Kennedy faced challenges with Cuba and Vietnam, supporting South Vietnam militarily while engaging in a standoff with the Soviet Union over missiles in Cuba. However, many of Kennedy's ambitious domestic programs were not passed before his assassination.
John F. Kennedy
John F. Kennedy was the 35th president of the United States, becoming the youngest president ever elected in 1961 at age 43. He came from a wealthy political family and served in the Navy during World War II. Kennedy married Jacqueline Bouvier in 1953 and they had three children together. As president, Kennedy faced challenges such as the Bay of Pigs invasion and Cuban Missile Crisis. On November 22, 1963, Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas at age 46, making him the youngest president to die in office.
Fidel castro
Fidel Castro ruled Cuba for almost 50 years until stepping down in 2008 due to poor health. He died in 2016 at the age of 90. After Castro's death, his ashes were placed in a tomb in Santiago de Cuba. Castro led a communist revolution against the U.S.-backed Batista regime in 1959 and turned Cuba into a one-party communist state, nationalizing businesses and aligning with the Soviet Union. Though Castro was popular among some Cubans, others opposed his authoritarian rule and communist policies, leading many to flee to Florida. Castro's death renewed debates about his legacy and Cuba's future political system.
The Bay of Pigs
The United States attempted to overthrow Fidel Castro in Cuba through a CIA-trained paramilitary group called Brigade 2506 in 1961, but the invasion lasted only 5 days before they surrendered in what became a major embarrassment for the US known as the Bay of Pigs Invasion, which increased tensions and ultimately led to the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Chapter 48
John F. Kennedy faced many challenges as president from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. His presidency aimed to enact his New Frontier agenda at home while navigating Cold War tensions abroad, such as the Bay of Pigs invasion and Cuban Missile Crisis. However, Kennedy's time in office was cut short, leaving his vision for the country unrealized and cementing his legacy as a youthful leader of promise and hope.
President Kennedy and Black Civil Rights
Kennedy came from a wealthy Irish-American family that faced discrimination. As President, he took some steps to advance civil rights like enforcing desegregation and protecting Freedom Riders, but often reacted to crises rather than taking proactive steps. He grew to support the movement more over time under pressure from events like the Birmingham protests and James Meredith's enrollment at the University of Mississippi with federal support. Overall, Kennedy made some progress but also faced limitations from the political climate and international tensions.

Kennedy and cuban missile crisis 2011
Two things changed the 1960 election in Kennedy's favor: the first televised debates, where Kennedy appeared more confident and youthful compared to Nixon, and Catholics swung heavily for Kennedy, the first Catholic president. Nixon said that Kennedy lacked experience. The Cuban Missile Crisis was the most dramatic crisis Kennedy faced as president, brought about when U.S. planes discovered Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba that could reach major U.S. cities within minutes. After 13 tense days, Khrushchev agreed to remove the missiles in exchange for Kennedy agreeing privately not to invade Cuba and publicly to remove obsolete U.S. missiles from Turkey.
JFK (Domestic Policy)
JFK campaigned on a platform of "new politics" that emphasized charisma and style over specific policy issues. He utilized new campaign technologies like television that highlighted his youthful image compared to Nixon. JFK won the 1960 election by small margins. As president, his top priority was foreign policy and confronting communism around the world. He increased defense spending and established programs like the Peace Corps. However, his attempt to invade Cuba and overthrow Castro at the Bay of Pigs failed. On the domestic front, JFK focused on increasing NASA funding and proposed tax cuts, but accomplished relatively little due to his assassination in 1963.

Ford to Carter
- Gas prices were reaching new highs in the 1970s due to OPEC raising oil prices and implementing production cuts, leading to gas rationing in some states. This contributed to economic "stagflation", where inflation and unemployment both increased.
- President Carter focused on the energy crisis and conservation but was unsuccessful. He initiated the Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt but most Arab nations opposed it. Iranian revolutionaries took 52 American hostages in 1979 which Carter failed to gain the release of.

Women's Rights Movement
The document discusses the history of women's rights from the 19th century to today. It notes that before the 20th century, women did not have equal rights to men. The first women's rights convention was held in 1848 in Seneca Falls, NY. In 1869, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton formed the National Woman Suffrage Association to fight for women's right to vote.

Standard 21_ 1960s America.pptx
The document provides context about key events in 1960s America related to escalation of the Cold War and domestic issues. Some key points:
- The Cold War escalated between the US and Soviet Union, threatening nuclear conflict. America disagreed over military involvement abroad.
- Cuba transitioned to a communist regime under Castro after the failed Bay of Pigs invasion. This brought Soviet missiles to Cuba and nearly caused nuclear war during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
- America increasingly intervened in Vietnam amid the Domino Theory, but the Tet Offensive showed the war was not close to ending as believed.
- At home, civil rights legislation aimed to desegregate schools and public spaces, while protests grew.

- The Bay of Pigs invasion, a failed CIA-backed plan to overthrow Fidel Castro in Cuba, took place in 1961. Kennedy took responsibility for its failure.
- In 1961, the Berlin Wall was constructed by East Germany to prevent emigration to West Berlin, stemming the "brain drain" of thousands leaving East Berlin for the West each

There are two discussions I need to respond too. 100 words for both discussions. Needs to be done right away.
Discussion 1:
Former President Lyndon B. Johnson presented “The Great Society” speech. In this speech, Johnson declared war on poverty and racism. This legislation included laws upholding civil rights, public broadcasting, Medicare, Medicaid, environmental protection, aid to education, and the abolition of poverty. I will argue that that when he signed the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1968 outlawing most forms of racial segregation and providing equal housing opportunities regardless of race, creed, or national origin, and passed the Voting Rights Act of 1965 outlawing discrimination in voting was his greatest accomplishment during his presidency. In my opinion, The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and 1968 gave black people back their dignity, pride, and in sense their freedom. Black people felt that they were now a part of America.
LBJ also appointed Thurgood Marshall as the first African American justice on the Supreme Court Signed the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and Higher Education Act to improve funding to schools, especially those in poor districts. Established the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Endowment for the Arts to support humanists and artists and created programs to tackle poverty such as Head Start, food stamps, Work Study, Medicare, and Medicaid. I will say this his gun control policy act was one of his greatest mistakes domestically because it interfered with the 2
nd
amendment the right to bear arms. He came up with the policy to lessen gun violence after Kennedy was assassinated, but the problem was that he outlawed a great amount of weaponry, allowing only guns for sporting purposes. Another thing, this policy was not well thought out, it went through many different phases of revision because the simple fact is that was incomplete. I think because he was close to JFK and that he witnessed his assassination that his emotions maybe overpowered his decision professionally in regards to the gun control policy.
Despite of the accomplishments that Johnson made domestically, the Vietnam War overshadowed his domestic affairs. Which is so messed up when you think about because LBJ did not initiate the American involvement in Vietnam. Truman, Eisenhower, and Kennedy were the ones who made it so the U.S. would and could intervene. However, LBJ made the decision to Americanize the conflict in Vietnam. Despite promises to bring a swift end to American involvement in Indochina, Johnson steadily increased the number of U.S. troops deployed to Vietnam, hoping to ensure a U.S. victory before withdrawing forces. No American president had yet "lost" a war, and Johnson hoped he wouldn't be the first. By the end of his second term as president, his approval rates had plummeted and his hopes for bringing an end to the war in Vietnam had dissolved. In my opinion, LBJ had the opportunity to have a great .
