60's Generation Chronology of Significant Events
The 60's Baby Boom generation is identified as officially beginning January 1st, 1946. The significant increase in the number of babies born in 1946 over those born in 1945 is attributable to the end of World War II and the return of veterans of the war to their current or future wives. In 1945 2,873,000 babies were born compared to 3,500,000 in 1946, a 20% increase. In 1954 the number increased to 4,000,000 and remained high through 1964, the last year of the baby boom generation. In reality those born in the 40's have little in
common with those born in the 60's. This modest attempt to chronicle some of the defining events in the lives of baby boomers focuses on the early baby boomers, the 60's generation, and their experiences. The events are a simple chronology interspersed with narrative where appropriate. Events range from politics, civil rights, rock and roll, war, fads, entertainment, and much more; some general and some personal.
