The 1950s were a very important decade in history. As the world entered the second half of the 20th century many things were in a constant state of flux. World War II was over but tensions between world powers remained and more wars would break out as a result. In many ways, society was trying to rebuild from a very turbulent first half of the 20th century.

Many things that happened in the fifties would go on to influence how we live our lives even today.
