Decades That Defined Us

Kennedy, Martin Luther King, the Cold War - the decade that saw new hope, and new divisions, while counterculture would emerge to redefine our society.

Terrorism, oil crisis, Watergate - the decade that saw the West question its place in the world. A new politics would emerge and see Margaret Thatcher arrive at Downing Street.

Computers, Chernobyl, fall of the Berlin Wall - the decade that saw politics shift to the right, reshaping the West, while democracy would triumph as the Berlin Wall fell.
