Wow. Where to start. I suppose the biggest would be the launch of the Russian Sputnik satellite that started the whole Space Race. The Cold War with Russia started. Eisenhower was advised to start looking seriously at developing Solar power; instead he decided to embark on a nuclear program instead. Television sets started to appear in more "average" homes. The I love Lucy show started. The CIA was thought to have started a project called MK Ultra that was about mind control experiments using LSD. James Dean released his only 3 films. The first commercial nuclear power station was opened at Windscale, England. Everything was covered in sparkly red naugahide. The Korean War started. The French started the Vietnam War and handed over the responsibility to the Americans. Kruschev became premier of Russia and would be the one to play nuclear holocasust brinksmanship with Kennedy over the Cuban Missile Crisis. Stalin, the Premier of Russia since the death of Lenin and the only man to have killed more Russians than Hitler, died in 1953.
