When we were kids the United States was the wealthiest and strongest country in the world; the only one with the atom bomb, the least scarred by modern war, an initiator of the United Nations… As we grew, however, our comfort was penetrated by events too troubling to dismiss… The conventional moral terms of the age, the politician moralities–“free world,” “people’s democracies”–reflect realities poorly, if at all, and seem to function more as ruling myths than as descriptive principles… The bridge to political power, though, will be build through genuine cooperation, locally, nationally, and internationally, between a new left of young people and an awakening community of allies”  — Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), Port Huron Statement, 1962 Which of the following post-1945 developments contributed most strongly to the discomfort that members of SDS felt?
