Hey guys, i have this essay for modern history and the question is " The assassination of JFK was the result of a conspiracy of powerful forces". Im confused with the question, should i agree with it nor not?
Thanks

I beileve here that you should take one side, and find points on that side of the argument. Affrimative side is that JFK was assasinated as part of a conspiracy, Negative side is that JFK was assasinated by a single person acting by himself. Choose one and find points for that side.

JFK's killer Lee Harvey Oswald who was shot before he could testify thus the reason behind why he did it remains a mysterys thats why so many theories surround the death of JFK. Personally i would go wth the essay question "
The assassination of JFK was the result of a conspiracy of powerful forces" There is more than enough theories to support this case rather then going against it.


Main Consipiracy theories for the assasination of JFK
-White supremacists assasinated JFK namely the KKK because of his civil rights movement support
-American arms dealers who supplied weapons for the vietnam war assasinated him because JFK was trying to end the vietnam war
-Soviet spys helped in the assasination because of the cold war and JFK's blockade on cuba aka the cuban missle crisis.
-The CIA assasinated him because of the vietnam war and many disagreements.

A whole heap of consipracy theories on the assasination of JFK:

Like I'm going to watch a 90 min TV show on dial-up. But if it was on TV I would watch it, for certain. I wish I was doing modern history ...

Ok, usually for essays you're supposed to write a case both for and against the topic. History is a subject based on fact, not your own personal opinion. To get top marks you would have to be balanced and neutral, and provide equal amounts of evidence for each side of the argument.
