Unit 6 section 1 lesson 1  kennedy and the cold war
John F. Kennedy
won a close
presidential
election in
1960, defeating
Richard M. Nixon.
Kennedy launched a new Cold War strategy.

• He built up both conventional and special military
  forces.

• He created a flexible response defense policy.

• He developed the Alliance for Progress to improve
  relations with Latin American countries.

• He created the Peace Corps.
As ambassadors of
American goodwill,

the Peace Corps
sent American
volunteers
to developing
nations to assist
with such services
as education and
healthcare.
The sudden threat of Castro and Communism in
nearby Cuba led to two major confrontations.


                     Bay of Pigs invasion
                     Cuban missile crisis
In April, 1961 the United States
            invaded Cuba’s Bay of Pigs.

 Conceived by the CIA to overthrow Fidel Castro, the
 invasion involved Cuban exiles who had fled Castro’s
 rule and settled in the United States.

 The Bay of Pigs mission failed.
                                   The President said,
                                   however, that he would

                                   Western Hemisphere.
Cuban Missile Crisis

                 In 1962, American
                 intelligence
                 agencies
                 photographed
                 Soviet
                 nuclear missile
                 installations
                 in Cuba.
The missiles
     at these
  Cuban sites
  threatened
major cities in
   the United
       States.
In Public              Behind the Scenes

In a television address,    Kennedy told the Soviets that
Kennedy blamed Khrushchev   the United States would
for reckless action that    remove U.S. missiles from

Kennedy initiated a U.S.    removed their missiles from
naval blockade of Cuba.     Cuba.
After eight tense days, the Soviets backed off.

    Nikita Khrushchev agreed to honor the
    blockade and removed the missiles.


 The crisis prompted the two leaders to establish
 a period of détente. They set up a hot line
 between Washington, D.C. and Moscow to
 improve communication.
In 1963 the
United States,
Great Britain,
the Soviet Union,   This treaty ended

signed the first

Disagreement over Berlin led to the

presence in West Berlin.


        Khrushchev ordered the building of the
      Berlin Wall separating East and West Berlin.
In response to Khrushchev’s actions, Kennedy
requested a large increase in military spending.


He also sent 1,500 more U.S. soldiers to West Berlin.


The Berlin Wall became a symbol of the gulf between


 the democratic West           the communist East East
                                and the communist

                •President Kennedy had a
                special style that made him
                seem different
                from other politicians.

                •The new First Family charmed
                Americans with their youth and
                energy.
Kennedy promised America
             a New Frontier.
          (Speech, 14:23-17:58)

•   He pledged to create  • He also wanted to
    economic opportunity    jump-start the
    and expand healthcare   space program.
    and civil rights.
Some of President Kennedy’s New Frontier proposals
succeeded. Kennedy was able to:


      • Increase the minimum wage
      • Extend Social Security benefits
      • Improve the welfare system
      • Pass the first Equal Pay Act for men and
        women


However, a conservative Congress prevented Kennedy from
enacting all of the programs he proposed.
Civil rights marches and demonstrations
        took place all across the country



Kennedy introduced a civil rights bill in 1963.

He also proposed to strengthen civil rights in response to
the violence in the South.
Kennedy recognized the need for the United States to beat
the Soviet Union in the space race.


                  He made it a national goal to place a man on
                  the moon before 1970.

                  Congress gave generous funding to NASA,
                  the National Aeronautics and Space
                  Administration.
In July, 1969 an
American flag flew on the moon.
In November, 1963, while riding in a motorcade in
Dallas, Texas, President Kennedy was
assassinated.


The senseless murder deeply saddened Americans.


To many, it seemed that America’s innocence had
died with Kennedy.
After Kennedy’s death, Vice President Johnson
was sworn in as the new President.

 The nation moved to resolve the
 economic and equality issues
 Kennedy had identified.


 Johnson also appointed the
 Warren Commission to
 investigate the assassination
 of
 President Kennedy.
