About John F. Kennedy
John F. Kennedy was born in 1917 to a powerful and wealthy family. His charm and youth allowed him to become President of the United States, although his true suitability for the role has always been questioned. In 1963, during a political visit to Dallas, he was shot twice by an unknown assaillant and died soon after from his injuries. Although Lee Harvey Oswald was officially charged with his murder, the true identity of the killer is still unclear, and there is a huge number of conspiracy theories involving everyone from the CIA to the Vice President. Kennedy was the fourth American president to be assassinated, after Abraham Lincoln, James A. Garfield and William McKinley.
