Where John F. Kennedy grew up?
Early life and family
John Fitzgerald Kennedy was born in Brookline, Massachusetts, on May 29, 1917. He was the second son of nine children born to the multimillionaire business executive and financier Joseph P. Kennedy (1888-1969) and his wife, Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy (1890-1995). Joseph's father had served in the Massachusetts Legislature and in elective offices in Boston, Massachusetts. Rose's father, John Francis Fitzgerald (1863-1950), had been a state legislator, the mayor of Boston, and a U.S. congressman. Joseph himself had served as chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, chairman of the U.S. Maritime Commission, and ambassador to Great Britain (1937-40). Thus, the Kennedys were a wealthy family with a history of political and public service.
Education and the military
Kennedy attended the Canterbury parochial school (1930-31) and the Choate School (1931-35). One of his teachers later said that people in school liked him more for his personality than for his accomplishments. He was often ill during his childhood and spent much of this time reading. Kennedy enrolled at Princeton University in 1935 but illness soon forced him to withdraw. Upon recovery he went to Harvard University, where he majored in government and international relations. During his junior year at Harvard, he traveled in Europe and observed the events that were leading to World War II (1939-45; a war in which the Allies-France, Great Britain, the Soviet Union, China, and from 1941 the United States-fought against the Axis powers-Germany, Italy, and Japan). He used his observations for his senior paper, which later became the bestselling book Why England Slept (1940).
After graduating from Harvard with honors in 1940, Kennedy went to Stanford University for graduate studies. In April 1941 he tried to enlist in the U.S. Army but was rejected for physical reasons (a back injury received while playing football). Months later, after his back strengthened through a regimen of exercises, the U.S. Navy accepted him. He then became an intelligence officer in Washington, D.C. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, a U.S. Navy base in Hawaii, on December 7, 1941, the United States entered World War II. Kennedy requested active duty at sea and was given this assignment in late 1942.

What effect did the Bay of Pigs affair have on john f Kennedy's presidency?
Kennedy approved the Bay of Pigs invasion which had been planned primarily during the Eisenhower Administration. He insisted on changes in the operation, hoping that some of the rebels could escape into the mountains and sustain a long-term insurgency. He repeatedly emphasized to his military advisors that he would not approve direct American military intervention. After a failure to destroy all of Fidel Castro's tiny air force on the ground, the invasion was in immediate trouble. Cuban planes were hammering the invasion force and making reinforcement and resupply impossible. Kennedy was pilloried for refusing to escalate the invasion and send in American air and marine power. In the aftermath of the debacle, he believed that he had been deceived by his advisors and that they believed that he would be forced to approve air strikes despite his earlier insistence that he would not. He came to believe that the operation had been designed to fail so that an American invasion of Cuba could be launched.
