The problem with the 1950s was the complete chaos caused by the Great Depression and World War II

Just like now, the Great Depression wasn't just in the U.S. it was worldwide mostly caused by the Collapse of the U.S. Stock Exchange caused by Herbert Hoover which reminds me of Trump's effect on the world economy right now.

It is predicted that Trump will be both directly and indrectly responsible for about 14 million deaths by 2030 mostly caused by world Starvation and people dying or going crazy from being deported or put into mass immigration concentration camps like now throughout the U.S.

So, the 1950s was about people severely psychologically damaged by the Great Depression and World war II with 900,000 Americans mostly civilians killed or starved to death during this war and all the chaos this brought to everyone's life. 

For example, the Viet Nam War only killed 50,000 Americans mostly young men my age then but imagine the chaos of 900,000 Americans killed during world war II and 20 million Russians killed or starved to death during World War II and about 100 million people killed or starved to death during World war II worldwide?

So, people in the U.S. and around the world were desperate to recover from the damage and carnage from World war II and people mostly (the adults and children who lived through world war II) were in serious psychological shock of one degree or another.

So, no adult at least in the 1950s was entirely sane.

This is where you have to begin. Then we as children in the 1950s had to deal with this mass PTSD type of insanity of every adult around us.

We saw quite clearly that the world was headed for human extinction then and complete annihilation of all life on earth.

So, my Baby Boomer Generation thought about how to solve this problem of world insanity then.

So, Our idea was to travel all over the world and meet people on their own terms and find out about them and write or tell people about our experiences. Before our generation people were far more standoffish towards other countries and cultures until we arrived on the scene here in the U.S. and Europe especially.

So, when the Beatles happened it sort of Galvanized this way of Traveling around the world and meeting people everywhere and making friends with them which didn't exist that much before the mid to late 1960s.

This one thing our generation did I think helped the world to come together to help each other as friends more and as a result people started talking more and nuclear armament treaties took place between the U.S. and Russia and all countries with nuclear weapons except maybe China. 

I try in the next Article to find out more about Nuclear Treaties with China but it didn't seem very useful or satisfying in any way regarding China and Nuclear weapons treaties now.

However, at least in the 1960s and 1970s enough of my generation traveled the world and singing Groups like the Beatles and others galvanized a generation for peace throughout the world. So, in this one respect we were very successful until Trump destroyed all this making all nations now America's enemies because of his actions. To Trump even the American people are his enemies.

I don't think we ever had a president as Crazy and as Destructive to world Civilizations before this one. 

Millions worldwide are dying or going crazy because of Trump since he was first inaugurated president a year ago now.
