John F. Kennedy Becomes Youngest President

After the 1960 election, John F. Kennedy became the youngest and the first Catholic president of the United States. It was a historic poll because voters got to know the campaigns of candidates through televised debates. After becoming the Chief Executive, the former senator addressed several key problems like the unrest in Vietnam.

This photo, showing Kennedy and his wife and mother, was captured after he won the election. Unfortunately, his term was cut short when he was killed in Dallas, Texas, in November 1963 by an ex-Marine, Lee Harvey Oswald. The events leading to his death were shown in the biopic JFK.
