The historical year of 1968. Ten events that changed the world
Keywords:
Philosophy, HistoryAbstract
The author reviews the main facts of that year: from the death of Che Guevara, the student revolt known as "the French May" and the Chinese cultural revolution; the offensive of Tet in Vietnam and the protests against the war in the Asian country; the students massacre in Tlatelolco square in Mexico, the teacher's strike in El Salvador and the Episcopal Conference in Medellín, Colombia; the beginning of computer nets -an antecedent to Internet- and the conquest of the moon in the context of the spacial race. These were key events to understand the present and the future. A synthesis year in the century, a reflex of 20th century, 1968 is a very suggestive year.
