Mid-Century and Cold War: 1950–1999

The mid-century and Cold War period in US history (1950-1999) was characterized by a period of intense rivalry and competition between the United States and the Soviet Union.

This period was a time of heightened tension between the two superpowers, with the threat of nuclear war looming in the background.

The Cold War was fought through proxy wars, arms races, and the spread of propaganda.

The US and the Soviets engaged in a space race to explore outer space, with the US launching the Apollo 11 mission to the moon in 1969.

The 1960s saw the Civil Rights Movement, which sought to end racial discrimination in the US and promote racial equality.

The US was also involved in the Vietnam War, which lasted from 1955-1975 and resulted in a devastating loss of life on both sides.

In the 1980s, the Cold War came to an end with the collapse of the Soviet Union.
