Introduction World War Second was a significant event in Europe, the United States, and the whole world. It was characterized by a number of political, economic, and social changes. However, being ended in 1945, its outcomes challenged many countries during the next several decades. The division of Europe into Western and Eastern was the major WWII aftermath, and this work aims at comparing the situation in the regions between 1963 and 1989. Such aspects as political extremism (government changes), economic instability (hard to control ups and downs), social improvements (family values, student revolts, and feminism), and the relationships between Europe and America (unwillingness to continue cooperation) are taken into consideration. Political Situation in Western Europe The period between the 1960s and the 1980s was difficult for Western Europe from a political point of view. First, the decision to support European integration was made, and government policies were changed accordingly 1 . Some countries were not prepared for them, and some nations strived to demonstrate their potential. Instead of following the same ways of development, western countries preferred different forms of governance:   * France chose a presidential republic under the rule of de Gaulle;   * Britain was the country were conservatives benefited with Margaret Thatcher as a leader (her passion and desire to prove can be observed on the image) 2 , and the Labor Party resisted their regulations;   * Italy introduced Christian democracy who emphasized individualism;   * Western German was focused on anti-communism ideas;   * Authoritarianism of Spain made the region rich and capable of development.   * New radical directions and terrors challenged politics from time to time. Political Situation in Eastern Europe The Soviet Union was the leading nation in Eastern Europe after WWII, and the choice of leaders defined its further political, economic, and social changes. In the time period under analysis, the two forms of governance were applied: communism was introduced by Khrushchev (right image) who replaced Stalin, and conservatism by Brezhnev (left image) who replaced Khrushchev. Communism was characterized by fast growth in terms of the Council of Mutual Economic Assistance (COMECON), a strong post-war initiative to strengthen economic relations in Western Europe. 3 It was also important to elucidate new policies according to which social interests and values were changed and politically approved. 4 Conservatism, in its turn, did not focus on changed but on the improvement of national defense and political stability. It was expected to underline the role of authority in the Soviet Union, as well as other countries of Eastern Europe. Economic Situation in Western Europe In Western Europe, the change of power and unstable international relationships resulted in dramatic changes for the population, including:  1. Depression because of unstable inflation rates and the growth of unemployment  2. Financial and oil crises were caused by the sudden rise in prices on fuel and the inability to increase limited supplies (image as evidence)  3. Poverty was extreme in such regions like South Ital
