JFK early life  John Fitzgerald Kennedy, known as JFK, was born in Brookline, Massachusetts on May 29, His father, Joseph Kennedy, Sr., was a wealthy investor and a demanding father who expected his sons to be politically ambitious.  When JFK was ten, his family moved to New York, and when it came time to enter high school, he was sent to Choate, a prestigious Connecticut boarding school.

JFK political life  In 1952, JFK ran successfully for the U.S. Senate from Massachusetts, in a year that saw Dwight Eisenhower elected president.  The next year JFK married Jacqueline Bouvier, a beautiful and cultured young woman who would become one of the most famous First Ladies in history.  JFK was now one of the Democratic Party's rising stars.

JFK’s first crisis  Early in his presidency, JFK butted heads with the Soviet Union and its volatile leader, Nikita Khrushchev.  After a U.S.-backed invasion of communist Cuba in April 1961 ended in disaster at the Bay of Pigs, Khrushchev concluded that JFK's administration was weak.

JFK Peace Corps  On the domestic front, JFK founded the Peace Corps, a volunteer organization that sent young Americans overseas to work in Third World countries.  He backed investment in Latin America through the "Alliance for Progress," and joined with Khrushchev to sign a treaty limiting nuclear testing.
