As the year 1968 began, young people in West Berlin went wild. They began demonstrating against the imperialist war in Vietnam, against authoritarian structures at the universities, and against a Federal Republic run by former Nazis.All of West Berlin society opposed these "long-haired hooligans." But this only radicalized them further. Before long, some sections of the movement were throwing Molotov cocktails and building bombs, while others began a "long march through the institutions."
1968 changed Berlin, Germany, and the world. On our tour, we are going to talk about:
- the International Vietnam Congress at the Technical University
- the second-wave women's liberation movement in West Germany
- student rebels joining the armed underground
- the visit by the Shah of Iran that ended with an assassination
