So consequential was this event and its brutal aftermath that it laid the foundation for other major world events and trends for decades to follow. The second half period marked the beginning of the East-West conflict and the Cold War, together with maj ...

The rise in social revolution, civil rights movements, human rights movement, anti-War movements, and the Counterculture movement are only some of the characteristics that defined the 1960s.
