It is not surprising that the movements of the Sixties were global. The “long 1960s,” the period that stretched from 1954 to 1975, followed the second World War of the century; even the name connotes the new scale of the world. People could be interconnected, especially as new technologies could communicate liberal philosophies across the globe.
