Assassinations and Assassination Attempts

During the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962, President John F. Kennedy faced a critical situation when the Soviet Union placed nuclear missiles in Cuba, just 90 miles from the U.S. This standoff brought the world to the brink of nuclear war, but Kennedy's firm diplomatic negotiations ultimately led to the removal of the missiles. Tragically, less than a year later, on November 22, 1963, JFK was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, an event that shocked the nation and raised numerous conspiracy theories surrounding the circumstances of his death. The crisis and his assassination remain pivotal moments in American history, shaping U.S. foreign policy and public trust in government.

the complex web of alliances and nationalistic tensions in Europe had not been so volatile at the time. If Austria-Hungary had chosen a more measured response to the assassination, rather than declaring war on Serbia, it might have prevented a broader conflict. Additionally, if major powers like Russia and Germany had prioritized diplomacy over military mobilization, the escalation into World War I could have been avoided. Ultimately, the intertwining interests of various nations turned a single assassination into a global conflict.

HUMSS stands for Humanities and Social Sciences, a strand in the K-12 educational system in the Philippines. It focuses on subjects related to human behavior, society, culture, and the arts, preparing students for careers in fields like psychology, sociology, law, education, and communication. The curriculum emphasizes critical thinking, research skills, and an understanding of social dynamics. Students in this strand often engage in discussions and projects that explore various aspects of human experience and societal issues.

On November 22, 1963, the day of President John F. Kennedy's assassination, Lee Harvey Oswald was at work at the Texas School Book Depository in Dallas. After the assassination, he fled the scene and was later apprehended for the murder of a Dallas police officer, J.D. Tippit. Oswald was arrested that evening and charged with the assassination of Kennedy, which he denied until his own assassination two days later.

Lee Harvey Oswald was a lone shooter on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository. He fired 3 shots: the first missed the presidential limo, the second hit JFK in the throat and passed on to Governor Connallys chest, right wrist, and left thigh, and the third hit JFK somewhere between his right ear and eye and above which killed him.

He was a Senator from New York which is a large, influential state. When he was killed, he was running for president as a Democrat against Lyndon Johnson. Students were protesting against the war and the draft. Eugene McCarthy tested the waters and after McCarthy did unexpectedly well in the primaries Bobby Kennedy jumped in. He seemed to be on his way to winning the Democratic nomination. With his money and connections and his Kennedy charm, he would have had a very very good chance of being elected President, and people could that fact- so he was an important figure to be sure.

No, Charles Garfield was not assassinated. He is an American psychologist, author, and lecturer known for his work on peak performance and accomplishing goals.

Lady Macbeth helped her husband carry out the assassination of their sovereign, King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. She did so by helping in the planning and in the framing of the two royal guards. She was the one who suggested her giving the guards too much of drugged drinks. She was the one who kept Macbeth on track when he wavered. She was the one who told Macbeth that the murder would best be done with the King vulnerable, helpless and defenseless from having dined and gotten ready for bed. She was the one who planted the daggers back on the bodies of the guards, to frame them for the royal killing.

Jerry Brown believes in the most typical democratic stand point short of socialism. he's very bipartisan in that he doesn't much believe in anything other than trading green (which is evidently now a resource) for jobs, and state where the money is dying, making money through prop 19, and raising taxes for social programs. He also gets made fun of by the Jello Biafra, and the Dead Kennedys.

by not making stupid decisions, remove illegal immigrants who drain our resources and cause crime, stay out of foreign affairs unless asked to by that government, less strict gun laws that already have no purpose, less involvement in the public laws, and more effort in fixing the economy.

Lee Harvey Oswald was a man who never fit in; no matter what he tried, he always ended up alienating himself from the "group". He had the training, the skill, and the means to carry it out all by himself. Most of all, after all of his failures, he had the motivation to make this grand gesture to ensure that his name would always be a part of American history.

Lee Harvey Oswald did not kill John F Kennedy (JFK) , but was a patsy.

The Mafia killed JFK because Bobby Kennedy was "turning up the heat" on the Mafia.

Sirhan Sirhan is the main antagonist. He killed U.S. Senator Robert Francis Kennedy after Kennedy won the California primary on June 5, 1968 in Los Angeles, California. A diary found during a search of Sirhan's home stated, "My determination to eliminate RFK is becoming more and more of an unshakable obsession. RFK must die. RFK must be killed. RFK must be assassinated before june 5th 1968." It has been suggested that the date of the assassination is significant, because it was the first anniversary of the first day of the Six Day War between Israel and its Arab neighbors.
Sirhan Sirhan, a twenty-four year old Palestinian immigrant, was convicted of Kennedy's murder and is serving a life sentence for the crime.

Civil Service reform; in 1883, the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act was passed, as a tribute to Garfield, who had been a proponent of eliminating the patronage system and hiring people based on merit.

On the evening of April 14, 1865, while attending a special performance of the comedy, "Our American Cousin," President Abraham Lincoln was shot. Accompanying him at Ford's Theater that night were his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, a twenty-eight year-old officer named Major Henry R. Rathbone, and Rathbone's fiancee, Clara Harris. After the play was in progress, John Wilkes Booth with a drawn derringer pistol stepped into the presidential box, aimed, and fired. The president slumped forward. The assassin, John Wilkes Booth, dropped the pistol and waved a dagger. Rathbone lunged at him, and though slashed in the arm, forced the killer to the railing. Booth leapt from the balcony and caught the spur of his left boot on a flag draped over the rail, and shattered a bone in his leg on landing. Though injured, he rushed out the back door, and disappeared into the night on horseback. A doctor in the audience immediately went upstairs to the box. The bullet had entered through Lincoln's left ear and lodged behind his right eye. He was paralyzed and barely breathing. He was carried across Tenth Street, to a boarding-house opposite the theater, but the doctors' best efforts failed. Nine hours later, at 7:22 AM on April 15th, Lincoln died. At almost the same moment Booth fired the fatal shot, his accomplice, Lewis Paine, attacked Lincoln's Secretary of State, William Henry Seward. Seward lay in bed, recovering from a carriage accident. Paine entered the mansion, claiming to have a delivery of medicine from the Secretary's doctor. Seward's son, Frederick, was brutally beaten while trying to keep Paine from his father's door. Paine slashed the Secretary's throat twice, then fought his way past Seward's son Augustus, an attending hospital corps veteran, and a State Department messenger. Paine escaped into the night, believing his deed complete. However, a metal surgical collar saved Seward from certain death. The Secretary lived another seven years, during which he retained his seat with the Johnson administration, and purchased Alaska from Russia in 1867. There were at least four conspirators in addition to Booth involved in the mayhem. Booth was shot and captured while hiding in a barn near Bowling Green, Virginia, and died later the same day, April 26, 1865. Four co-conspirators, Paine, George Atzerodt, David Herold, and Mary Surratt, were hanged at the gallows of the Old Penitentiary, on the site of present-day Fort McNair, on July 7, 1865.
