August 2009: The 1960s

This month's newsletter focuses on the Swinging Sixties, the age of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, the age of Pop Art and hippies. No less than 32 African countries gained independence, while African American communities mobilized to demand their civil rights to be acknowledged and respected. Student protests in Europe and the States immobilized those countries, while the Vietnam War was raging in the former Indochina.

But even in the age of Che Guevara and Martin Luther King, while the space race was attracting everyone's attention and the Kennedy's became legends, the royal families around the globe had their duties to attend to and their countries to lead. This newletter takes you through the births, deaths, marriages and other major events in the lifes of the royals of the 1960s.

Enjoy!
