At the beginning of the 1960s, many Americans believed they were standing at the dawn of a golden age. On January 20, 1961, the handsome and charismatic John F. Kennedy became president of the United States. His confidence that, as one historian put it, “the government possessed big answers to big problems” seemed to set the tone for the rest of the decade. However, that golden age never materialized. On the contrary, by the end of the 1960s it seemed that the nation was falling apart. In the 60s there was a defining civil war. Not all Americans where on favour of the war because not all agreed. Unfortunately, the War on Poverty was expensive–too expensive, especially as the war in Vietnam became the government’s top priority. There was simply not enough money to pay for the War on Poverty and the war in Vietnam. Conflict in Southeast Asia had been going on since the 1950s, and President Johnson had inherited a substantial American commitment to anti-communist South Vietnam. Soon after he took office, he escalated that commitment into a full-scale war. In 1964, Congress authorized the president to take “all necessary measures” to protect American soldiers and their allies from the communist Viet Cong. Within days, the draft began.
The war dragged on, and it divided the nation. Some young people took to the streets in protest, while others fled to Canada to avoid the draft. Meanwhile, many of their parents and peers formed a “silent majority” in support of the war.
Are you sure your question is correct? Because it is not chronologically logic. The implementation of the phoenician alphabet happened around 200 years after the collapse of the Bronze Age (c.a. 1200-1100 BC).
The collapse of the Bronze Age was one of the causes for the creation and success of Phoenician commerce, activity by which this civilization is famous for. It is not clear why, but around 1200 BC many civilizations ended abruptly. This vacuum of power created a new independence for many cities which made possible a new commerce system. Phoenicians traded with Mesopotamians, Greeks, and Egyptians. They had trading routes that reached Spain, the Atlantic Ocean and Britain. Trading lead to intercultural exchanges, so Phoenicians knew many types of writing, which they simplified to create their own alphabet (c.a. 1000 BC) based on sounds instead of symbols.
The Phoenician alphabet was used to organize their colonies and trading contacts on the Mediterranean region. As this alphabet was simpler, writing was no longer limited to clergymen or scribes. It also influenced Greek alphabet which inspired the latter roman alphabet.
