We all have successes and failures in our 

lives.

One of these people that we are going to be 

talking about is JFK. He was a president of the 

United States. 

John F. Kennedy was an American politician who 

served as our 35th President of the United 

States.

He served from January 1961 until he was 

assassinated in November 1963.

JFK inspired many people. His biggest failure was 

getting killed.

Most of his success was because of the foreign 

policy in the Cold War.

He had always continued to support West Berlin. 

One of the most obvious failures of JFK is the Bay 

of Pigs. 

This made JFK look weak and as a bad president 

because he allowed the invasion of Cuba but 

weren't able to support it.

His major success was the Cuban Missile Crisis. 

It made him look like a great leader because he 

prevented the nuclear war and made the USSR 

back down.

Another accomplishment is 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.

Another Failure was the U.S. 

initiatives in Western Europe, such 

as support for British entry into 

the European Economic Community 

and European defense integration.

JFK was an active Cold Warrior. This soon ran 

aground in Cuba, where he was humiliated in the 

1961 Bay of Pigs Invasion and where the 1962 

Cuban Missile Crisis nearly led to nuclear 

holocaust. Spooked by the near-disaster of the 

Missile Crisis, Kennedy subsequently pursued more 

moderate policies with regard to the Soviet Union.
