List of major changes to society in the 1960s. Society back then was rotten to the core already; V2 just pushed things over the edge. Let's not blame the "Boomers" for any of this; they had to deal with all this change when they were teenagers. The fault of all this is the "Silent Generation", aptly named, as they didn't speak out about any of these dangers.
1959 - Fidel Castro comes to power in Cuba.
1960s - Rock-n-roll begins with Elvis, the Beatles, Bob Dylan, etc
1960 - Vietnam War draft begins with nationwide, student anti-war protests.
1960 - Hormonal Birth Control first available in the US.
1960 - Drug culture begins with marijuana, LSD, heroine.
1963 - President JFK αssαssιnαtҽd.
1963 - Rise of Martin Luther King, race riots and racial equality.
1959-1963 - Vietnam War ends.
1964 - Civil Rights Act passed.
1965 - Voting Rights Act.
1962-1965 - Vatican 2 Council ends.
1966 - National Organization of Woman founded (i.e. Women's Lib/feminism movement).
1968 - Woodstock / Rock Music and Drug culture
1969 - No-Fault Divorce legalized in California.
1969 - "Moon landing" and rise of technology.
1972 - Beginning of Federal takeover of education, with intro of Title IX
1969 - New Mass
1971 - End of the US Gold Standard
1973 - Roe v Wade / Abortion legalized
The war against the Church, society and the family was won in the 1960s. Since then, (for the good guys) it's just been a battle to limit the damage. The bad guys dropped nuclear bomb after nuclear bomb in that one decade. The extent of change is breathtaking.

Good list! Correction, we left Vietnam in 1973 and the war ended in 75.

I caught that one, too. I think the open availability of the pill, end to the draft, abolition of the death penalty in some states, and the Stonewall riots—beginning of normalizing sɛҳuąƖ perversion, extension of no-fault divorce, were significant events, as well.
In general, the younger of The Greatest and Silent Generations set up the conditions and The Boomers indulged. But be careful in applying this to individuals, especially Traditional Catholics from these generations and those to follow. The fact is, many of the WWII era and Silent generations DID resist and swim against the tide. My parents, for example, despite being born and raised in NY, City and Long Island, had 1930’s morality frozen in time. I can’t calculate how many times I heard Mom say, “I don’t care what ‘everyone else is doing.’ If they were all jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge in cement block sandals, would you want to do it, too?” We knew better than to try that angle on Dad. The answer was a US Navy authoritative, “Permission denied, young lady.” And that’s how it was. Arguing earned us a punishment. Direct disobedience rarely occurred because the consequences would involve home lockdown and hard labor. Yes, we went to novus ordo, knowing of nothing else, but we switched parishes several times, Dad finding the most conservative around! Ive kept pretty much to my parents’ moral standards except for a brief experimental three month fling in college. I tried lots of stuff and rejected it. It’s nothing I’m in the least proud of, all confessed, of course.

Saith the Blessed Lady: The Third Secret will be more understandable after 1960.

I agree with you except for conscription.

1962 God removed from public schools with no protest.
1960 75 percent of homes had televisions
Support for sex Ed in schools gained more support.

I think Elvis and King belong to the fifties, not the sixties, but having said that, this list is pretty shocking. Mankind fell harder and faster in the 1960s decade than ever before in history. Although mankind is always inclined towards evil, such a catastrophic collapse of order and even natural morality can't be explained naturally. It must have a supernatural cause.
I think the cause is pretty obvious if you consider that the Church is the bulwark of the human race, spiritually speaking, and the papacy is the bulwark of the Church. Well, what happened to the papacy in 1958? It was vacated. The sixties collapse was inevitable at that point.

People here just love to beat up on the "boomers" and our parents :laugh2:.
Bob Dylan was a folk singer, not "rock & roll"
Mankind fell harder and faster in the 1960s decade than ever before in history.
Some people REALLY NEED to read some history, especially the early Middle Ages and the time referred to as the Dark Ages, around the 5th - 11th centuries, and reading the Old Testament, even if just the psalms, about the times God's people were in various captivities. The boomers' parents grew up during the great depression in large families. If they were in a city it likely was in a "walk up cold water flat". If on a farm (as with both my parents) it was without electricity (kerosene lamps and coal or wood stoves), water hand pumped from an outside well head, no indoor plumbing, hand washed and hung to dry laundry, NO AIR CONDITIONING (someone in Texas commented about having to run their AC into December).

Bob Dylan wasn’t Rock but he pushed the drug/hippie culture. That’s the point.

Nah, I blame the Boomers. :laugh1:
But mostly I blame the pre-V2 Popes who failed to consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Many of these 1960s movements were engineered by the Communists / Jews.

To that point, I was just reading this account of ~1100's Antwerp the other evening, reminded me of our times:
