In American history, the Kennedy family is famous for its outstanding political achievements and social influence. However, the family was also plagued by a series of tragedies, forming what people call the "Kennedy Curse." These tragedies often include death, accidents, and assassinations, which make the outside world wonder whether the family is really suffering from some kind of curse. From political leaders to victims of tragedy, this family's story is full of unusual coincidences and sadness.
"Do you believe this is a curse?"
It all started with the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy Sr., whose family seemed to have no way of escaping these tragedies. In 1944, the Kennedy family's hope, Joseph P. Kennedy II, was killed while in charge of a military aircraft, marking the beginning of this series of events. Subsequently, many members of the Kennedy family also faced various unfortunate accidents.
In a tragedy in 1956, the Kennedy family's beloved daughter Arabella Kennedy died at birth. The following year, 1963, the focus on the Kennedy family once again turned to the assassination of John F. Kennedy in the Dallas Circle in Texas, which was undoubtedly the most shocking event.
"How can anyone survive these tragedies?"
In the following decades, the fate of the Kennedy family seemed to be closely associated with tragedy. For example, in 1968, Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated in his Los Angeles hotel, and in 1999, John F. Kennedy's son, John F. Kennedy II, and his wife and sister were assassinated in Massachusetts. The plane crash off the coast of the state is a cause of grief and confusion.
Kennedy's health challengesIn addition to the tragic death, the family also faced health challenges. Rosemary Kennedy's quality of life was drastically reduced due to a medical malpractice, which forced the family to deal with not only external judgments, but also internal struggles. These challenges have increased the burden on the family to some extent.
Even abundant political resources and support could not change the family's fate. For example, in 1973, the jeep driven by Joseph P. Kennedy II was involved in an accident, causing passengers to be injured. This series of events brought unforgettable pain to the Asian community and friends.
"It seems that someone is not friendly to this family."
Until 2019, Robert F. Kennedy's granddaughter died of an accidental overdose in the Kennedy residence, which made the Kennedy family's suffering continue to the modern era, reminding people that the "Kennedy Curse" is far from over.
As time went by, this series of unfortunate accidents intertwined the history of the Kennedy family with the history of the United States, leaving behind countless questions and thoughts. Perhaps, whether this curse is just a coincidence, or how to explain all this, are questions worthy of people's deep thought?
