1950
* Credit Cards were introduced, affected society & are still used to this day by many people who have become dependent on them
* Korean War Began affected the United States because of its unsuccessfulness, it cost many lives and billions of dollars, stopped communism
1951

1952
* Seat Belts for Cars introduced prevented more accidents from occurring
1954
* Segregation ruled illegal in U.S.
Blacks and whites went to school together and things were equal between them no matter what color, it has remained that way ever since
1955
* Disneyland Opened! changed how
other cultures viewed America, reinvigorated entire amusement park industry, still loved and visited present day
* Rosa Parks she refused to give up her seat on the bus to a white man, by standing her ground she impacted society and caused others to stand up as well which created a bus boycott and led to changing the rules about sitting in the back if you were colored
1957
* First living animal to enter orbit
Laika, a dog, entered the orbit in space but died during her trip, Laika proved that it was possible for a living being to enter space. Her death also sparked animal rights debates across the planet
1958
* Peace Symbol Created
British artist created it for the Direct Action Committee Against Nuclear War, moved to U.S. as symbol for peace movement & became internationally recognized, still used to this day by peace activist
1959
* Fidel Castro becomes Dictator of Cuba
He resorted to violence and was Anti-Americanism, the U.S. made many failed attempts to kill him because he betrayed many people, he showed how terrible someone could become once made dictator
What I learned from this period in time was that it introduced many things that we still use today. Even little things such as the peace symbol can make an impact on the United States and stay around for a long time. Technology evolved greatly since then and events such as the end of WWii and Rosa Parks made a monumental impact to the whole world. Most of this has changed the United States for the better.
