Three more passes of Jupiter through Leo. 1943–1944: the Soviet Union turns the tide at Stalingrad and Kursk, Mussolini falls from power, Allied troops land at Normandy on D-Day, and Paris is liberated from German occupation. 1955–1956: West Germany joins NATO, the Soviet Union answers with the Warsaw Pact, newly independent African and Asian nations meet to oppose colonialism, and Egypt seizes control of the Suez Canal — the same waterway making headlines again right now. Then 1967–1968, maybe the most turbulent stretch of the four: the Six-Day War reshapes the Middle East, the Tet Offensive shocks the world, Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy are both assassinated, and the Soviet Union invades Czechoslovakia — a year the world seemed to break open all at once. Know thyself. Balance your energy.
Takeaways
- 1943–1944 marked WWII's real turning point — Stalingrad and Kursk broke German momentum on the Eastern Front, Mussolini fell, and D-Day put Allied troops back on Western European soil.
- Paris being liberated from German occupation in 1944 is a direct example of "who becomes the face of liberation" — a question this period keeps asking in different forms.
- 1955–1956 saw the Cold War's alliance structure lock into place — NATO and the Warsaw Pact forming almost in direct response to each other — while Egypt's seizure of the Suez Canal put a new kind of power on the world stage.
- The Suez Canal crisis of the 1950s echoes directly into current headlines about control of Middle Eastern waterways and oil routes — the same geography, a different century.
- 1967–1968 stacked the Six-Day War, the Tet Offensive, and the assassinations of MLK and RFK into a single stretch — a year where individual leaders became symbols the entire cultural moment got pinned to.
