Camelot is a fictional castle and court that has featured in literature about the legend of King Arthur since the 12th century, when the citadel was mentioned in the story of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Ever since, King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table have been used as a symbol of courage and wisdom in politics. For centuries, King A...
In the early 60s, even before his death, Kennedy symbolised power and glamour in a way that American presidents had not before. Both Kennedy and Jackie had come from wealthy, socialite families. They were both attractive and charismatic, and Kennedy was also a World War Two veteran. Additionally, when he was elected, Kennedy became the second-young...
The term Camelot has been used retrospectively to refer to the Kennedy administration, which lasted between January 1961 and November 1963, capturing the charisma of Kennedy and his family. Camelot was first publicly used by Jackie in a Life magazine interview, after she invited the journalist Theodore H. White to the White House just days after th...

World War II is generally considered to have begun on 1 September 1939, when Nazi Germany, under Adolf Hitler, invaded Poland, after which the United Kingdom and France declared war on Germany.
WWII, one of the most devastating conflicts in human history, was a direct consequence of the aftermath of World War I. The Treaty of Versailles, signed on June 28, 1919, marked the end of World War I, but it also laid the foundation for World War II.
In June 1941, Hitler invaded Russia and in December 1941, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor brought the USA into the war. The war became a truly global conflict. Meanwhile, in Europe, the...
