Kennedy is probably remembered best for three contributions: successful management of both the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Berlin Airlift, and initiating the Apollo space program which, after Kennedy's tragic death, successfully landed men on the moon.

President Kennedy is probably remembered for two contributions in particular. He originated the American space program which eventually (after his own death) resulted in the successful landing of Americans on the moon. He also handled the Cuban Missile Crisis successfully, preventing the USSR from placing nuclear missiles in Cuba without provoking a nuclear war (although war was only narrowly averted). Although the Cold War continued until 27 years after Kennedy's death, it is still true that Kennedy's actions played a role in the eventual end of the Cold War and the end of the communist bloc.

Other contributors added more accomplishments:

  • he founded the peace corps.
  • he was actively involved in the Civil Rights Movement.
  • he inspired people to get involved.
  • he also stopped the Cuban missile crisis but we were defeated at the bay of pigs
  • increased minimum wage
  • better social security benefits
  • hijacking airplanes federal offense
  • He was the youngest president ever to enter office.

he made a huge cut in taxes while he was president.
