I have to write a speech based on my birthday and I have to find things that happened on that date. Apparently, not a lot has happened except death and that doesn't seem so fun. I've been trying to find some but cannot, and I was wondering if anyone knew anything ? Please (. _ .)

Although things seemed great and shiny on the outside, there were some underlying problems and issues in 1940s?
CJ
I am looking for some things to research on this matter any help would be greatly appreciated!
I am looking for anything from the 1940s to the 1950s
Ok so WWII is a given what about underling issues on the homefront
Answer
Other than WW2...
Women who experienced the freedom of having jobs provided by the war had to give them up when the men returned home.
Cold War (began in 1946)
Japanese internment camps in the US; a great deal of anti-Japanese sentiment
1950s: the Red Scare (fear of communism); this is what primarily led to both the Korean War and the Vietnam War. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Scare
Korean War (1950-53)
Vietnam War (began in 1959.) Major protests would eventually come about because of the war; it was very controversial.
Issues between the US and Latin America: In the 1950s Latin America was the center of covert and overt conflict between the Soviet Union and the United States. Their varying collusion with national, populist, and elitist interests destabilized the region. The United States CIA orchestrated the overthrow of the Guatemalan government in 1954. In 1958 the military dictatorship of Venezuela was overthrown. This continued a pattern of regional revolution and warfare making extensive use of ground forces.
Issues with Fidel Castro: In 1959 Fidel Castro overthrew the regime of Fulgencio Batista in Cuba, establishing a communist government in the country. Although Castro initially sought aid from the US, he was rebuffed and later turned to the Soviet Union.
The U.S uses Federal prisons, mental institutions and pharmilogical testing volunteers to test drugs like LSD and chlorpromazine. Also started experimenting with the transorbital lobotomy.
Forced sterilization, especially of African Americans (see http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/they-cut-me-like-a-hog-victims-of-north-carolina-eugenic-sterilizations-spe/)
Civil Rights movement (began in 1955.) Obviously a lot of racism and violence (especially by the KKK) directed against minorities.
