The war in VietNam escalated because Lyndon Johnson was so hawkish on the need to escalate. One big mistake JFK made prior to his death was to send old Lyndon over to VietNam to "keep an eye on the situation over there."  In truth, Kennedy simply wanted Lyndon out of the way.  That was a big mistake because Lyndon took the job seriously, he really thought he knew what had to be done.  His idea was to send troops over to resolve the problem.  He had no idea that it would escalate into a full scale war.  Fifty thousand American lives later, we decided to hang up our spurs.  The rest is history!

John F. Kennedy. Had he finished his term he probably would have been re elected to another term. I also feel that Vietnam would not have escalated to the proportions that it did. I also feel that there would have been more advances in terms of Civil Rights. Kennedy also seemed more in touch with the American people than any other President.

Socially: Everyone ignored the ban on alcohol and partied a lot.  Economically: The stock market crashed and the economy plunged into a depression.  Politically: People blamed Hoover for the lack of jobs and money and elected FDR.

Helping you out with your homework huh?  Well I will not make it 4 or five sentences long but will give you something to think about.  \nThe impact it has on the American history is it started the rebellion against taxation and the mother country.  The second thing is that Americans decided to govern themselves and form a new government.  It also lead to no one ruler will govern America, judicial system, legislative branch and the executive branch.  It lead to a revolt and to the rights of our civil liberties.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963), often referred to as John F. Kennedy, JFK or Jack Kennedy, was the 35th President of the United States. He served from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. A member of the politically prominent Irish-American Kennedy family, he is considered an icon of American liberalism. During World War II, he was cited for exceptional bravery rescuing fellow sailors in the South Pacific. Kennedy served his home state of Massachusetts in Congress 1947-60, as both a member of the House of Representatives and as U.S. Senator. He was elected President in 1960 in one of the closest elections in history.\n\nMajor events during his presidency included the Bay of Pigs invasion, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the building of the Berlin Wall, the Space Race, early events of the Vietnam War, and the American Civil Rights Movement. In rankings of U.S. presidents, historians usually grade Kennedy above average, but among the general public he is often regarded as among the greatest presidents. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963. Official investigations later determined Lee Harvey Oswald to be the culprit. His assassination is considered one of the most defining moments in U.S. history because of its traumatic impact on the entire nation, its impact on the political history of the ensuing decades, Kennedy's status as an icon for a new generation of Americans and American aspirations, and for the mystery and allegations of conspiracy that surround it.

Harry Truman for sure. Truman was able to follow up from where FDR left off. The world was completely different between the two times because of conflict. You should be real glad your not speaking German or Japanese right now, or even Russian. Truman did that for you, you know!!!!

He was a President thrown into a difficult position from inheriting the position from Abraham Lincoln. Johnson was president during part of the Reconstruction following the Civil War, and his conciliatory policies towards the defeated states and his vetoes of civil rights bills embroiled him in a bitter dispute with the Congressional Republicans, leading the House of Representatives to impeach him in 1868; he was the first President to be impeached. He was subsequently acquitted by a single vote in the Senate.

You have to have contributed something substantial to the world of economics, literature, politics, science or some field of endeavor which makes you famous. Like Martin Luther King, Jr. who won the Nobel Peace Prize. \n\nThe Nobel Peace Prize was the first award given out at the beginning of the 20th century. It was given out by the trust of a guy named Alfred Nobel who was a Swedish guy who invented dynamite. \n\nIn his later years, he lamented that although dynamite did a lot of good for the world, it was also harmful and was used to harm people also. So the story goes that his Peace Prize was supposed to recognize and endow people who worked for Peace. \n\nPeople who contribute to science, economics, literature, the advancement of developing Third World economies, all have an impact on the world and attract the attention of people who decide who gets a particular Nobel Prize.

1. The Military-Industrial Complex. World War II created a vast war industry, that was never really dismantled. In order to manage this vast military machine, the Pentagon was built (during the war). The war machine has been propping up the US economy for the last 60 years.\n\n2. The Presidency itself grew in power thanks to the actions of Fraklin Roosevelt. Truman was an activist president. Eisenhower wasn't as active, but most of his successors have liked wielding presidential power. The more power you want to wield, the more people you need working for you.\n\n3. Simply the growth of the United States. The population has almost doubled since 1940 -- more people, more needs. In order to fill the demands of the American people, there has been a need for more government agencies.

~Actually, as much as I hate to have to say it, just as with Lyndon Johnson, what he has done is within his right under the constitution or enabling legislation.  If you want to complain, that's all well and good but you have to be specific and know what you're talking about.  It's when imbeciles shoot their mouths off out of ignorance that folks like Trickie Dick and Georgie the Younger get their support from the balance of the uninformed hoi poloi.

The Viet Nam war was the reason Lyndon Johnson was so unpopular. He was a good man with good idea's but the country got really divided because of it.\n\nI am seeing this again, it is daja vue, all over again, Bush has this country divided just as bad if not worse.

Ronald Reagan did make a difference, as well as Pope John Paul II (he was into theatre). So I think that yes, you CAN make a difference in people's lives. :-)\n\nPublic speaking, documentaries, news broadcast (www.brightcove.com talks of Internet TV, interesting...), podcasting, etc.\n\nThere are so many channels through which you can reach people's eyes and ears. The main need, however, is for actors and leaders who can reach people's hearts.\n\nGood luck!
