Why do you think so many social movements took place in the 1960's and not in the decades before or after?

The 1960's were a decade of revolution and change in politics, music and society around the world. ... The 1960's were an era of protest. In the civil rights movement blacks and whites protested against the unfair treatment of races. Towards the end of the decade more and more Americans protested against the war in Vietnam.

These movements include the civil rights movement, the student movement, the anti-Vietnam War movement, the women's movement, the gay rights movement, and the environmental movement. Each, to varying degrees, changed government policy and, perhaps more importantly, changed how almost every American lives today.
