On November 8, 1960 when the general election was held, Kennedy had to compete with Richard Nixon and as a result won the election. Kennedy's policy included such issues as fighting against discrimination, war, crime and poverty, supporting different space programs, tax cuts, medical care system, and equal rights. The president experienced global events such as Cuban Missile crisis (1962), construction of the Berlin Wall (1961), communism in Latin America, creation of the Peace Corps, and the dangerous nuclear weapon era.
The first lady, Jacqueline Kennedy took an active part of the representation of Kennedy and the USA. The couple reinvented what it meant to be president, and welcomed cameras into their life. They were married on September 12, 1953 and the couple had got two children, John Jr. and Caroline.
On November 22, 1963 JFK was assassinated in Texas, and the next elected American president was Lyndon Baines Johnson, who had designed the the Warren Commission in order to investigate the murder. The discussions about his murder are still open: however Lee Harvey Oswald is believed to be the murderer.
