12 Unforgettable Events In US History That Changed The Entire World

7 JFK Assassination

Why did Kennedy die? This is America’s greatest conspiracy still on the lips of many an American. One popular theory was that the mafia who was said to have helped put Kennedy in office was peeved at how Bobby Kennedy the attorney general and brother of JFK clamped down on organized crime. The reason, of course, was then revenge but is that really true? Theories claim that Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone and there were two gunmen or more who shot Kennedy. JFK’s assassination was more of a shock given the high security at the time. The uncanny aspect of the assassination was the weird similarities and coincidences between the death of Lincoln and Kennedy but that’s another story.

6 The Apollo Mission

Which American isn’t proud of the events of July 20, 1969 when Humanity finally breached its frontiers of space and touched down on the moon? Neil Armstrong indeed took a giant step from mankind when he first stepped on the moon. It was the USA who led the march in space exploration but one must never forget the heroes behind the scenes who made it possible as well as the sacrifice of Virgil Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chafee, the original NASA astronauts who died a fiery death during the pre-launch of the first Apollo mission launched from Cape Canaveral.

Many within the country itself regard it's another conspiracy, some feel the effort was to spite the Russians but regardless, it is America who has put 12 astronauts on the moon planting flags of several countries on moon soil.
