The latter 1940s and early '50s were a time of tense, explosive conflict, in the world at large and in the politics of our nation.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In some ways, the '60s were a reaction to the '50s and the intensity of the Cold War.
There's that thing about the '80s, the '40s and the '60s, and the '30s, the '50s and the '70s. Something about those odd decades in this century that weren't too pleasant.
I feel that we are currently living in a world that is similar to late '50s, early '60s kind of world.
The '50s was a pretty wonderful time for people, it was hopeful.
The world loves the 1950s.
People talk about the '60s, but they were merely a mass production of what the '50s had begun.
I find the 1940s very compelling. It is a very excitable period in the U.S. when, whether out of necessity or not, everybody was reinventing themselves.
In the 1930s, there were so many different conflicts going on between the British, the French, the Russians, the Germans, the Spaniards, the Romanians and so on.
I remember the 1940s as a time when we were united in a way known only to that generation. We belonged to a common cause-the war.
The '50s were a secretive time.
