November 22 1963, Dallas Texas, it was a like a scene from a movie, outside the skies were so blue that you got lost in wondering how far out it went until a cloud would blow past and remind you that in all the blue nothingness there was something more to it. Even though it was the middle of fall it was still warm outside, not the slightest bit chilly, God himself couldn’t have created a more perfect day. Everybody in the Dallas area had come out to see President Kennedy give a speech. The streets were filled, so much so that there was no room to breathe.

The president and his wife, Jacqueline smiled and waved backed, earlier the president had stopped the motorcade twice, once to shake hands with a little girl, and second time to greet a Catholic nun and her group of school children. During both of those stops the secret service had to keep back the crowds of people at a distance. Dallas, with a murder rate twice the national average and a anti-kennedy community it was not a safe city.

From bills that are passed and legislations that are written a presidential representative has an opportunity to impact the political stance of America. Civil rights activists John F. Kennedy was chosen to be the 35th president of the United States. Before he took his position as president Kennedy served in the US House of Representatives as well as, the US senate. As expected by any presidential official Kennedy faced a number of foreign issues, including but not limited to crises in Cuba and berlin. However still managing to secure great accomplishments such as the Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty and the

Over fifty years have passed since the assassination of John F. Kennedy and still it is one of the most talked about assassinations of all time. “JFK was assassinated on November 22, 1963 in Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Texas” (“The White House”). John and his wife, Jacqueline, were riding in an open top car down the streets of Dealey Plaza when the President John Kennedy was shot and killed. This event traumatized many Americans, “Over 66% of people in America believe that the assassination was part of a larger conspiracy while only 25% think it was just one individual working alone” (Blaton ). The assassination of JFK has been argued for many years; the government declared that Lee Harvey Oswald worked alone, but many have different stories.

John F Kennedy grew up in a wealthy and very political family. His assassination was a shock to many. It was a time of Cold War and the peak of US involvement in Vietnam. It is important to understand the John F. Kennedy regime including both its national and foreign policy. You also need to look into his personal life. This would help to create motives, and find the primary aspect to consider when looking into any homicide, assassination or murder. He was the first president who was a Boy Scout, the youngest ever to be elected president, He won the Pulitzer Prize in history for the book Profiles in Courage, and He was credited in starting the Peace Corp. Would all of this and perhaps more be the cause of his own death? Did Lee Harvey

John F. Kennedy 's assassination in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963, left the country in a condition of flabbergast and grief. Kennedy 's vice president, Lyndon Baines Johnson, was sworn into office on board Air Force One. Johnson promised to commit his administration to the satisfaction of Kennedy 's legacy. Johnson had ascended from poverty, yet ended up a tremendously powerful politician. His personality was larger than life; he used his intimidating in your face management tactics known as the “Johnson Treatment”, to obtain his goals.

Ferdinand and his wife had arranged to tour Bosnia. As the couple rode through Sarajevo, the capital of Austro-Hungarian, on June 28, 1914, a man by the name of Gavrilo Princip jumped on their car and fired two shots, killing Ferdinand and his wife. Gavrilo Princip, was linked to a Serbian terrorist group called the Black hand("World War I History." ).

On June 28, 1914, the assassination in Sarajevo of Archduke Ferdinand, heir to Austria-Hungary throne, by Gavrilo Princip as part of a terrorist organization known as the Black Hand, a terrorist group out to create a better Serbia, took place. Some members of the Black Hand were high-ranking government officials that were involved in the assassination. This proves that the government was somehow involved with the terrorist attack. Additionally, The government call Princip a hero and gave him a statue, making them look like they were pro the assassination. When Austria-Hungary gave them an ultimatum, they accepted all terms except one- that Austria-Hungary could come into Serbia and find the terrorists. They said this it “would be a violation

Milosevic came in to power in Yugoslavia because of his adept timing to use the 1987 protest by promoting Serbian nationalism on national television. Milosevic adamantly stated in the interview that none of his books and speeches discussed a strictly Serbian state. The concept of Greater Serbia was conceived in 1884 Ilika Garasanin and was the credo for the secret Serb-nationalist group “the Black Hand” who assassinated Franz Ferdinand . Emulating the same opinion from the Garasanin writing, Milosevic tried to create a Serbia that had complete control over the Yugoslavian area and discredited any country that tried to exempt itself out of the reaches of Serbian control. Bosnia and Herzegovina was illegally proclaimed as an independent state and recognized.

Although the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary was not the sole cause of World War I (WWI), it acted as the trigger which set off tensions that had been building for decades (Stokesbury, 2002). According to Stokesbury, the archduke was “Inspector-General of the Armed Forces and he proposed to view the troops on summer maneuvers and then…tour the provincial capital, Serajevo,” (pg. 23) in June of 1914. The day reserved for the archduke’s visit, June 28, corresponded with the anniversary of the First Battle of Kosovo in 1389 (Royde-Smith). On this day, centuries ago, Serbia was conquered by the Turks. Therefore, June 28 was a day that held deep meaning for Serbian nationalists. The archduke’s arrival and symbolic demonstration of Austrian imperial strength on such a day in Bosnia was a perceived insult to this blood-memory. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife was a protest by members of a Serbian-nationalist terrorist group called the Black Hand. They were protesting Austria-Hungary’s interests in the Balkans. Austria-Hungary's rule over its multi-ethnic empire was disintegrating. A demonstration of this was the fact that the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes under Austria-Hungarian rule wanted independence and looked to Serbia for support. Thus, Serbia became a threat to the Austria-Hungarian Empire. Serbia wanted to take over Bosnia and Herzegovina. But Russia had imperialist aspirations in the Balkans, as well, due to its
