Err... I was one of the posters who mentioned the Vietnam war as an "also" and by no means wanted to offend anyone or make the war sound less important than it was.
If I did, I sincerely apologize.

Since the original question was so general, I just listed what came into my mind about the 60s.
Many things have been added by the other posters by now that I also know about, but just didn?t come to my mind last night - even though some were very important events such as Kennedy?s assassination.

You see, I did not experience the 1960s and the time of the Vietnam War with the protests and everything first-hand, so while I?m of course aware of it, it could not leave as much of an impact on me as it must on anyone who really lived through all of it.

I was born in 1970, I know about the 60s because I was a huge Beatles fan as a teenager and watched a lot of shows and movies from that time, so my knowledge of the 60s is really all second-hand.

But I see your point, Sakurako, and I agree.
War is never an Also.
