President Kennedy was born on May 29, 1917 in Brooklyn Massachusetts. He was one of nine children and his parents were involved in several Catholic political groups. His family was one of the wealthiest in the U.S. and started a successful military career and went to run for congress in 1946 and senate in 1952. He was the 35th president of America in 1960 were he confronted growing cold war tensions. I hope this helps :D
