John Fitzgerald Kennedy is one of the most striking symbols of the 20th century. The youngest president ever elected, the first Catholic president, incredibly charismatic, it seemed that Kennedy represented the beginning of a new era in US history and, although he had only a short time, the era that he and his supporters dreamed of had arrived. shortly after his death. We can safely say that many of the democratic transformations that radically changed America in the 60s and 70s of the last century are imbued with the spirit that John Fitzgerald Kennedy managed to create in the country, and would have been most likely impossible if he had not become president.< /p>
