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.

I agree with you except for conscription.
