John F. Kennedy's presidency was filled with several important events that shaped American history.

Bay of Pigs Invasion
The Bay of Pigs Invasion was when the federal government organized and trained Cuban exiles on military strategies. The ultimate goal of this was to send these exiles into Cuba to overthrow Castro (the communist leader of Cuba at this time). This is an epic fail for the Kennedy administration.

NASA
President Kennedy made it his goal to land a man on the moon before the end of the decade. His dedication and financial assistance to the fields of engineering and science allowed this dream to become a reality. Even though he was not alive for the moment, his initial contributions to NASA made the event possible.

Cuban Missile Crisis
In October of 1962, the United States found out that there were Soviet missiles in Cuba. This proved to be an immediate threat to the US, as they were involved in the Cold War with the Soviet Union at this time. After tense negotiations and almost complete nuclear warfare, Kennedy and Khrushchev were able to make a deal that saved millions of lives.
