CULTURAL SOCIAL AND HISTORICAL CONTEXT

The Cold War:

From the Observer, I have learnt that in the mid-1960’s everyone was worried about the Cold War. The Cold War was a period of geopolitical tension between the United States and the Soviet Union and their respective allies, the Western Bloc and the Eastern Bloc, which began following World War II. People were scared because of the threat of a nuclear war, invasion and a clash of international superpowers.
