Answer:

In the 1950s, America was in full recovery after World War II. It was a time when America had become the most powerful nation in political and economic terms, after the fall of powers such as Germany, Britain and France due to the war.

In addition, it was the time that began the Cold War with the Soviets, which was a markedly anti-communist, conservative and in some respects restrictive time, since many individuals branded as communists were persecuted (for example, during McCarthyism ).

On the other hand, at the social level it was a time in which the return to normality of families began the baby boom and a time of mass consumerism, in addition to a feeling of permanent happiness given the economic boom and relative peace that was lived at the time.
