What was happening in the world and in the United States in 1979 and 1980 that is connected to the story The Boys of Winter.

Answer:

Explanation:

The history of the United States from 1964 to 1980 includes the climax and victory of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States; the escalation and ending of the Vietnam War; second wave feminism; the drama of the generational revolt with their sexual freedoms and drug use; the continuation of the Cold War, with his space race to take a man to the Moon. The economy was prosperous until the 1969-70 recession, then declined due to external competition and high oil prices. American society was polarized by the ultimately futile war and by protests against the war and conscription, as well as by the Watergate Affair, which revealed corruption at the highest level of government. By 1980 and the takeover of the US embassy in Iran there was a growing feeling of national unrest.

The period closed with the victory of conservative Republican Ronald Reagan, ushering in the "Reagan Era" with a drastic change in national leadership. The Democratic Party was divided on the issue of the Vietnam War and other foreign policy issues, counting on a new element based on young voters. Many of the Democrats considered liberal in other areas joined the neoconservative movement and began to support the Republicans (especially Reagan) on foreign policy. Meanwhile, Republicans were generally united in intense American nationalism, strong opposition to Communism, and strong support for Israel.

Memories of the 1960s shaped the political landscape of the next half century. As Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton explained in 1990, "If you look back at the 1960s and think there were more good things than bad, you are probably a Democrat. If you think you did more harm than good, you are probably a Republican. "1

Back in the 15th century in Nuremberg, lived a family with eighteen children. Eighteen!
Despite their seemingly hopeless financial condition, two of them had a dream. They both wanted to pursue their talent for art, but they knew very well that their father would not be able to send either of them to Nuremberg to study at the Academy.
After many long discussions the two boys, Albert and Albrecht, finally worked out a pact. They would toss a coin. The loser would go down into the nearby mines and with his earnings, support his brother while the winner would attend the Academy. And, when that brother who won the toss completed his studies, in four years, he would support the other brother at the Academy, either with sales of his art work or, if necessary, also by labouring in the mines.
They tossed a coin on a Sunday morning after church. Albrecht Durer won the toss and went off to the Academy. Albert went down into the dangerous mines and for the next four years financed his brother, whose works at the Academy were almost an immediate sensation. Albrecht’s etchings, his wood cuts and his oils were far better than most of his professors. And by the time he graduated, he was beginning to earn a considerable sum for his commissioned works.
When the young artist returned to his village, the Durer family held a festive dinner at their lawn to celebrate Albrecht’s triumphant homecoming. After a long and memorable meal, punctuated with music and laughter, Albrecht rose from his honoured position at the head of the table to drink a toast to his beloved brother for the years of sacrifice that had enabled him to fulfil his ambition. His closing words were, “And now, Albert, blessed brother of mine, now it is your turn. Now, you can go to Nuremberg to pursue your dream, and I’ll take care of you.”
All heads turned in eager expectation to the far end of the table where Albert sat, tears streaming down his pale face, shaking his lowered head from side to side while he sobbed and repeated, over and over, “No…..no…….no……no…….”
Finally, Albert rose and wiped the tears from his cheeks. He glanced down the long table at the face he loved, and then holding his hands close to his right cheek, he said softly, “No brother I cannot go to Nuremberg. It is too late for me. Look…. Look what 4 years in the mines have done to my hands! The bones in every finger have been smashed atleast once and lately I have been suffering from arthritis so badly in my right hand that \I cannot even hold a glass to return your toast, much less make delicate lines on parchment or canvas with a pen or a brush. No, brother …… for me it is too late”
To pay homage to Albert for all that he had sacrificed, Albrecht Durer painstakingly drew his brother’s abused hands with palms together and thin fingers stretched skywards. He called his powerful drawings simply ‘hands’, but more than 450 years later the entire world almost immediately opened their hearts to his great masterpiece and renamed his tribute of love, ‘The Praying hands’.
