The 1960s, 70s, and 80s marked a new era in modern history, but with humanity emerging from two devastating world wars, new challenges emerged as empires crumbled and countries gained independence for the first time since centuries. The world was divided into two during the Cold War, where billions lived in fear of nuclear annihilation, waiting to see which side would blink first.
