- Abstract
The article presents an in-depth historical examination of the social conditions and ideologies of 1960-1975 in Europe and the United States, highlighting the development of large scale countercultural movements. The notable growth of public reactions to generational senses of disillusionment from social norms and ideals in the U.S., the Soviet Union, and Germany are discussed. The political elements of the ideological shifts relating to the national and cultural pressures of the Cold War are also examined, citing ways in which countercultures influenced policy decisions in their respective countries.
