According to “John F. Kennedy,” once be became the President of the United States he started right in on what was left behind for him. He was left with many foreign affairs to fight, and the first one went terrible for him. This was the Bay of Pigs attack where the CIA was training anti-communism Cuban exiles to invade their home country and overthrow the government. The Bay of Pigs failed because JFK did not pull out the troops once the plan started to go wrong. He accepted blame for it but decided he was not going to listen to the CIA because he needed to look deeper into it first. The next major foreign affair of his presidency was with the Soviet Union during the Cold War. They wanted to build a wall in Berlin which would officially separate Europe during the Cold War, but JFK did not want this to happen. JFK traveled to Europe and tried to stop all of this. Soviet missiles were then found in Cuba because they were planning on attacking the US in 1962. JFK wanted them to be removed and he ordered a blockade around Cuba, so the Soviets could not get to their nuclear weapons. This successfully kept the Cuban Missile Crisis to a minimum. JFK met with the Prime Minister of Great Britain to make a nuclear warfare agreement. They founded the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty which prohibited nuclear warfare testing in certain areas (“John F. Kennedy” n.pag.).
