CULTURAL, SOCIAL AND HISTORICAL CONTEXT

The Cold war. 

From the Observer, I learnt that during the 1960s people were very apprehensive about the Cold War. The Cold War was looming and people were starting to learn more about what this meant for the world. The last War ended in 1945 and people and towns were still recovering from this rough and torturous time. Many countries couldn't afford to have another war and the fear of the Soviet Union grew. Spies were sent over from Russia and Countries soon realised that this was a huge threat. The Cold War was an everlasting worry.
