Assassination of John F. Kennedy

The assassination of John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, took place on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas. Kennedy was fatally shot while riding in an open-top motorcade with his wife, Jacqueline Kennedy, Texas Governor John Connally, and Connally's wife, Nellie. Lee Harvey Oswald was charged with the assassination but was himself killed by Jack Ruby two days later, before he could stand trial. The assassination was the result of a single gunman firing from the Texas School Book Depository, according to the Warren Commission's official report. However, various conspiracy theories have since emerged, suggesting the involvement of multiple shooters or a larger conspiracy. The event had a profound impact on American society and politics, marking a turning point in U.S. history. In Hebrew, the assassination is referred to as רצח קנדי (Retzach Kennedy). In Spanish, it is known as el asesinato de John F. Kennedy, and in French, it is called l'assassinat de John F. Kennedy.
