Forum Game: Assocate Each Decade with 3 Things Good or Bad

[ascenonfesins]

Let's play a little remembering game. Name each decade up to the 1940s, and just THREE things you associate with each decade. (If you are too young to remember, which is most of us INCLUDING jeffjoe, then go by what you have learned or what your parents told you.)

for me...

90s- Michael Jordan, Internet boom and crash, Bill Clinton
80s- SDI (Strategic Defense Initiative), Ronald Reagan, USSR
70s- Oil Crisis, Watergate, Vietnam
60s- Vietnam, Cuban Missile Crisis, Free sex
50s- Korean War, Mao Tse Tung, My parents' birth
40s- WWII, FDR, Nuclear weapons

Almost every decade, I associate with a president. Interesting, but normal I guess
