II. John F Kennedy Kennedy’s legacy called “The New Frontier”: a) Raised minimum Wage for first time b) Created Low income housing for the poor c) Equal Pay Act for women d) The Alliance for Progress - gave $20 Billion to Latin America build schools, hospitals & homes e) Created the Peace Corps f) Sent people to the Moon on a space race against Russia Russia beat us 1961 people orbiting Earth By 1969 we had people on the Moon

Kennedy’s Personal Life:

III. The Bay of Pigs A) 1959 - Fidel Castro overthrows corrupt Dictator Fulgencio Batista Allies with Russia Nationalizes all businesses, redistributes all land (Communism) B) We fail miserably: 1961 - 1,400 Cuban Exiles trained by the CIA land in the Bay of Pigs. Kennedy cancelled Air Attacks to keep it a secret 1,400 Exiles all killed or captured Horrible because: 1) Exposed America’s plot to overthrow governments 2) Made us look weak and disorganized

IV. The Cuban Missile Crisis The Closest we ever came to a Nuclear Apocalypse 1) 1962 - CIA Learns missile launchers being built We respond with Naval Quarantine - blocking all boats around Cuba 2) Kennedy vs. Nikita Krushchev For 14 days, world stood still as harsh words exchanged threatening nuclear warfare We both had 1,000+ Nukes!!!! ?!!?!?!?! 3) Resolution: They removed missiles from Cuba, we removed missiles from Turkey 4) Consequences: Khrushchev replaced.. seen as weak for retreating Russia builds up more arms...
