In American history now there is a great debate about 1968 being a watershed year. Some advance if Bobby Kennedy would have been successful in becoming President of the USA that year a whole different turn of events would have transpired. America would have gotten out of Vietnam without as much generational strife, and they would have led the world in not only a national health care programme, but a real moral agenda. There would have been more emphasis about eradicating poverty in the western world, and race relations would have turned for the better. Again, many historians say 1968 was a watershed year, and Bobby Kennedy could have turned the 1960s into a progressive 1970s, instead of the regressive decade it became. The regressive 1980s would never have happened. There would have been no Margaret Thatcher or Ronald Reagan, and instead our societies would have progressed further than what we can comprehend today.
Do you agree?
