Defining Events That Changed Our Lives: From 1950 to the Present

By: American Psychological Association

From the Korean War to Brexit, relive some of the most world-changing, life-altering developments from 1950 to today.

A single event can change the world forever--and this intriguing, richly photographed volume looks at some of the most significant political, social, and technological milestones from the mid-twentieth century on. Beginning in 1950 with Korea and the advent of the Cold War, it covers everything from the Cuban Revolution, moon landing, and 1960s student protests, to the Yom Kippur War, Watergate, Chernobyl, and end of the Berlin Wall, to 9/11, Apple's introduction of the iPhone, the killing of Osama bin Laden, and the fall of Raqqa, capital of the Islamic caliphate.
